Do watermelon need pollination

Answer 1

I am currently growing watermelon vines in my backyard. I sowed seeds directly into the soil May 1, 2009. They are now beginning to grow watermelons (June 28, 2009). I gave them plenty of room to grown and constantly water them. This is my first batch, but so far it looks like all they need is rich soil, space, lots of water, and some type of hay or straw to keep the moisture in.

Answer 2

Watermelon plants need pretty much the same as most other garden vegetable plants. They need plenty of sunshine, fertile ground, an adequate supply of water, and room to grow. They are not hardy, and cannot be planted until after the last frost. They do better in moderate temperatures, from 80 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit.

Watermelons need people, especially kids, to eat them!

Answer 3

In the true tropics the dry season (winter) is the best watermelon growing season.

Watermelons do not cope well with extreme heat or the humid, soggy conditions of our wet season/summer. Fungal diseases and bugs will wipe them out in no time.

If you live in a cooler climate, then summer is the time to grow watermelons.

You do need at least three months of reliably hot, sunny weather to grow and ripen a watermelon. During that time your average daily maximum temperature should be at least about 20-25°C or 70-80F. Warmer is even better.

(There are different watermelon varieties, so if you are at the low end of that, look for a faster maturing variety.)

Grow watermelons in full sun. You also need an abundant supply of water and nutrients (good soil).

And you need space. As I said, a rambling vine. They like to go wandering and smother everything around them.
