i've grown watermelon in michigan for 10 yrs now - have tried many varieties
and have always had best luck with yellow doll. like all plants, watermelon
likes lots of organic matter, adequate moisture and a pH around 7.0

additionally, this method variety is awesome to eat - in blind taste tests,
ppl prefer it over the red melons....

lots of sun

well drained soil

the right variety for your area,

if your growing season is short try micky lee or yellow doll, you dont
need
a long season. irt mulch will help. direct seeding works better than
transplants,

in my northeastern area, i would disagree with m.d. that a lot of water is
good, watermelons are sweetest when ripened in a sunny dry season with
well
drained soil.
