Step 1. Plant watermelon seed during spring once all danger of frost has passed in a location that receives full sunlight. Spread 3 inches of organic manure over the planting site and use a garden tiller to incorporate it into the soil to increase drainage and fertility.
Dig holes in the ground for the transplants. Place one seeded watermelon in the first row and transplant seedless watermelons into the next two holes. Continue to stagger your plantings, with one seeded variety to every two seedless. Water the transplants in and wait, about 85-100 days, for the fruit to mature.
