| Watermelon
As a vining plant, considerable room is required for development. With plenty of space, a row of watermelons will provide the family with a delicious vegetable from the middle of summer until autumn. The plant does best in a sandy loam soil and is a crop that does well on acidic land. Loose soil is beneficial as the roots may extend into the ground as far as the vines above the ground. 6-8 seeds are planted in hills 8' apart and later thinned to three plants to a hill. Plants should spread 8-10' around the hill. Four lbs. of seed are required to plant an acre. New varieties are constantly being developed, replacing the older, less desirable sorts. |
