I have raised a bunch of them. Put out about one-acre. Going for early market. Started them in greenhouse in peat pots, when sure frost is over, I markout the row about five foot apart. Give the hired hand a two handled post hole digger, He digs a hole about eight inches deep and plants pot and all. We turn on the irrigation to settle them in. They take off gtowing and do not know they have been planted. Sanbur can be a problem,Extention department said to apply Treflan so we had no weeds. Kept irrigating rgular Not a weed in the field to shade the mellons. Asked Extenion Horticultul and he said give them a shot of nitrogen ferlizer and irrigate. Man they take off growing the folage would be knee high, We did not pick watermellon we hunted them. Haul them to Farmers Market and people stand in line to buy them. Always plant a lot of small ice box sized mellon. City folks do not have room in refrig for the big ones also seed less sell good but do not have the flavor. Mirage is a good varity. gitrib
