Watermelon

Warm-season crop

What’s a summer picnic outdoors without watermelon? And we don’t mean just any watermelon, but the cute, ‘PureHeart Seedless’ variety whose round fruits are mini or personal- sized. Vining plants need room to sprawl, though. Zones 1-24, H1, H2.

To save ground space, grow small melons on sun-bathed trellises; support the heavy fruit in individual cloth slings.
