Fertilizing Watermelon. Wait until the vines begin to spread out before fertilizing your watermelon plants. If you're using a granular fertilizer, choose a balanced one like a 10-10-10 or 5-5-5. These three numbers mean that there are balanced amounts of nitrogen, potassium and phosphate in the fertilizer.
Seedlings are ready for transplanting once they have two or three mature leaves. The ideal date for planting melons outside is anywhere from April through June. Because vine peach cantaloupes are a warm season crop, wait until the soil temperature has warmed up to at least 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
