Charleston Gray Watermelon Seeds - 50 Seeds

The flesh of this heirloom watermelon is red, crisp, fiberless, and delicious, while the skin is light greenish-gray. It is resistant to Fusarium Wilt, anthracnose, and sunburn and is ready for harvest 85 days after sowing. To ensure early fruiting and overcome a short growing season, start seeds indoors in a warm, well-lighted area 3 to 4 weeks before the last spring frost. Before transferring the plants to the garden, acclimate them to outdoor conditions by moving them to a sheltered area outside for a week. Growing on plastic mulch can help control weeds, conserve soil moisture, and protect the fruit by keeping it off the ground. This watermelon variety produces large cylindrical fruits weighing 28-35 pounds. Each packet contains 50 seeds for outdoor sowing 4 weeks after the average last frost date, with a harvest time of 85 days. The plant reaches a height of 15 inches and spreads 72 inches, yielding 28-35 pounds of fruit. It is an annual suitable for all growing zones from 1-11 and requires full sun exposure.
