Sweet watermelon - choosing the best varieties

Summer gives us a lot of positive emotions and memories, it is during this period that the largest flow of the harvest falls in the year. A large ripe watermelon is an integral part of the summer period. The only question is how to break this "watermelon tradition" and harvest a generous harvest for the season.

In order for a watermelon to grow tasty, large and healthy, you need to strictly follow the rules for its cultivation and provide conditions conducive to this. Each region has its own unique climatic characteristics, which directly affects the cultivation of watermelon. So, before planting a watermelon, it is important to choose the right variety:

Watermelon Spark Is a type of sweet watermelon that can be found in almost every vegetable garden. The reason for this popularity is its relative resistance to cold. On average, the weight of the fruit balances at the level of 2.5 kg, the pulp, with proper care, is soft and sweet, bright red (depending on watering and fertilization). Under film shelters and in a greenhouse, it can be grown in the Non-Black Earth Region, in Siberia, the Urals, and the Far East;

Crimson sweet - a variety that is famous for its taste, color saturation. Such a watermelon steadfastly tolerates transportation and viruses, keeping the fruit sweet and healthy. Early ripe variety (73-85 days), good fruits can be obtained in hot summer conditions;

Charleston gray - watermelons of this variety clearly did not come from our lands, nevertheless, they took root perfectly. The oval fruit and the yellow-green color of the rind conceal a wonderful taste and aroma. How long a Charleston Gray watermelon ripens depends on the growing medium, but the average is up to 100 days. The color of the fruit is red, of medium saturation, and the flesh itself is soft and juicy. The variety was discovered by French specialists and is successfully grown all over the world;

Chill - familiar to us as a small dark green fruit with pinkish-red flesh. The mass of a watermelon is up to 5 kg, it is distinguished by its transportability and cold resistance. The number of seeds is small, brown in color, the taste is mildly sweet. Refers to a subspecies of medium ripeness;

Sugar baby - it is not uncommon to find such watermelons on the plots of summer residents. The round fruit reaches up to 4 kg in weight, has a dark green peel without a pattern. The pulp is very tasty and rich, has a bright red color. The seed size is large enough, an excellent option for seedlings. The sugar baby fruit is perfect for pickling, if you suddenly want to cook canned watermelons;

Gift of the sun - just that variety, which by its name already has sympathy for itself. The round fruit has the best taste and attractive appearance. The color of the peel is yellow, the thickness is medium. This species matures already on the 65th day of its growing season and reaches 4 kg;

Astrakhan watermelon - the next representative of the striped melon in summer cottages. Oval-round shape, very sweet and tasty, with red flesh inside. The weight of one fruit, subject to cultivation techniques, can reach 8-10 kg;

Lunar - for an appetizer, we offer a recently known watermelon variety, which is distinguished by its excellent presentation and excellent taste. The external color is pronounced in the form of black and green stripes. The shape of the fruit is standard, but the most interesting thing is inside. The color of the pulp is rich yellow, which is a huge rarity among the subspecies. Not everyone likes yellow watermelon, but you might like the taste. The number of seeds is minimal, and the total weight of the fruit reaches an average of 3.5 kg.

Watermelon cultivation technology

In order for a watermelon bush to provide a good harvest, you need to know the basic rules and procedures for cultivation. First of all, one should take into account the climatic features of the region and the condition of the soil.

In April or May, you can start planting watermelons for seedlings, taking into account the varietal characteristics, namely the growing season. If the period is short, plant later, a long growing period - we plant watermelon on seedlings early. Now you need to soak the seeds of the watermelon in a damp cloth, put them in a warm place, and wait until they bite.

Very often summer residents and gardeners complain that watermelon seeds do not sprout, do not hatch, what to do? This problem can be solved if any stimulant (Energen, Epin, Heteroauxin, etc.) is added to the water according to the instructions to help the seeds hatch.

Some summer residents use plastic cups, put cotton pads (a couple of pieces) on the bottom, soak them well with water and a stimulant, and put seeds on top. Close with a plastic bag and put on the battery.In such conditions, according to the reviews of experienced gardeners, watermelon seeds germinate in literally two days. In the same way, it is better to germinate seedless watermelons, having previously washed off the protective shell from the seeds (rub a little with a sponge).

The hatched seeds should be planted in pots, embedded to a depth of 3-4 cm. Do not forget to moisten the substrate, then cover the planting with plastic wrap and remove to a warm place with a temperature of +20 ° C ... + 23 ° C. It is very important to maintain the temperature within the permitted range so that the seedlings emerge quickly and amicably. The film is removed when the cotyledons at the sprouts are fully open and then the temperature is lowered to +18 ° C.

Care in detail - pinching watermelons, watering, feeding

Transplanting watermelon seedlings into open ground or a greenhouse is carried out when the plants are 25-30 days old, and the cultivation conditions in the open ground will be suitable for good melon growth. It means that:

• the soil will warm up to at least +15 ° С;
• there will be no threat of frost.

In the open ground, it is advisable to cover melons at night with a covering material, if you grow watermelons in the Moscow region, the Leningrad region, in the Urals and in Siberia, since frosts can be even before June 10. When placing plants in the garden, remember that the density is no more than 3 plantings per 1 sq. m.

Fresh manure is not brought into the beds, but rotted manure is possible, you just need to dig a hole deeper, lay it on the very bottom, sprinkle it on top with earth, and then plant the seedlings. Instead of rotted manure, you can use straw and dry leaves spilled by Lake Baikal - you will get a good hole for a watermelon, the straw will begin to rot, and melons will grow.

The technology for growing watermelons provides for frequent watering in the early stages of development. When the watermelon bush begins to bloom, the watering intensity should be significantly reduced. Watering at any stage of growth should be moderate and the soil should be kept loose.

During flowering and fertilization, plantings can be fertilized. Top dressing is carried out after watering. To feed watermelons, you can use mineral complexes or self-prepared organic fertilizers. Summer residents also use Baikal, Potassium humate and other drugs. It is worth noting, do not overdo it with fertilizers, otherwise the whips will grow, and not the fruits. Focus on the condition of the plants: pale and skinny - feed, healthy and green - do not touch. When the fruits are tied, stop feeding! (you don't want to get a bunch of green leaves?)

Experienced summer residents who have been growing melon for several years give a lot of recommendations in order to get good fruits, and not small balls. The formation of watermelons can be done in various ways, but the most important thing is to choose the one that is suitable for your region and is easy to care for.

If you live in the northern regions, it is advisable to leave 5-8 fruits on the plant and pinch the whips so that the watermelons ripen in a short, and not always hot summer. In southern latitudes, more fruits can be left due to climatic characteristics. When pinching, leave 10-15 cm of the lash above the fruit. The pinching is carried out when the watermelons have reached the size of a medium apple.

Watermelons grow when you water them often and abundantly, they turn out sweet - if there is a lot of sun and heat. In general, watermelon loves temperatures no less than +20 ° C. To create more warmth in the melon crop, place plastic water bottles next to the fruit. The bottles will heat up and give off heat to the watermelons.

Watermelon ripening time - when to harvest from the garden?

The time it takes to reach ripeness is determined solely by the characteristics of the variety itself. Basically, the growing season lasts at least 65 days. Accuracy is absolutely uncharacteristic for nature, therefore, focusing on standards, one should conduct analytics on their own. The main signs of fruit ripeness:

• The tendrils near the fruits have dried up;
• With a slight squeezing of the fruit, the peel gives a signal of ripeness as a crackle;
• When tapped on the peel, the fruit makes a dull and deep sound;
• The fruit springs up with pressing movements.

The fruit should be picked as it ripens, gently picking it together with the footboard. For this, it is advisable to choose a dry warm day. As a rule, September is considered to be the period of mass harvesting, until the rains and cold began. Storage of fruits involves the preservation of watermelon in rooms with a temperature of 6-8 ° C. It is advisable to place the crop in special vegetable stores with a dry floor.

Now you know, dear readers, how to grow a watermelon and always be with the harvest, regardless of climatic conditions. Good harvests to you!
