Panda using seeds sold commercially, using seeds from the melons might be bought and the result is a hybrid watermelons not be effective because it will be the second generation (F2)
Panda your database directly on the field, do not buy seedlings or sow seeds in plastic then check move the field, sow seeds two inches 2 under the soil for a distance of centimetres 30 from trunk to trunk and meter 2 - 3 from row to row, after a few days seeds germinate after about 2 weeks in the two seeds sown, one cut and leave the prism healthier, but cautious not prism cut to avoid disturbing the remaining seedling roots.

CARING
amount you can put mulch on the soil to prevent loss of moisture, you can put manure or fertilizers, plants as small consumes more fertilizers nitrogen and use more fertilizers Potassium immediately after flowering to produce up to ripening fruit, branches surpassing the height of cut 2 meters in front Act to provide branches and thus get a lot more flowers will eventually yield more
