This is a question I get all the time. The answer is it depends on what you are planting and what kind of watermelon you are planting.
Watermelon is a summer fruit, and it is very important to choose the right time of year for planting. You can start watermelons from seeds in the spring, or you can buy plants from a nursery. The best time for planting is late winter or early spring. If you plant in the heat of summer, your watermelon will not get enough time to grow before it’s too hot.
