How to Sow Seeds and Care for Yellow Watermelon

Yellow King Beauty Watermelon needs full sun to grow, so choose a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. The soil should be well-draining and rich in organic matter. Amend the soil with compost or well-rotted manure before planting to improve fertility and drainage.

Plant seeds directly into the soil when the temperature has warmed to at least 65°F (18°C). Sow the seeds 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep and space them about 3-4 feet (0.9-1.2 m) apart in rows that are at least 5 feet (1.5 m) apart. Water the plants regularly, giving them about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water per week.

It's important not to let the soil dry out completely but not overwater, as this can lead to root rot. Apply a balanced fertilizer when the plants start to grow and continue to fertilize every 2-3 weeks throughout the growing season. Yellow King Beauty Watermelon can be vulnerable to pests like cucumber beetles and squash bugs.

Control these pests with natural methods like handpicking or spraying with neem oil and water. The Yellow King Beauty Watermelon is ready to harvest when the fruit turns a deep golden yellow color, and the stem begins to dry out. Cut the fruit from the vine with a sharp knife or pruners, leaving a short stem attached.
