Melon, Watermelon ‘Summer Flavour'

‘Summer Flavour’ was rated best for flavour amongst large red watermelons in a 2012 trial in the USA. Although a large variety it will ripen its fruit in all but the very coldest mountain areas of Australia. This large seeded watermelon has firm, crisp, juicy red flesh.

Grow them in two ways:

1. Plant one seed per pot in October in a warm indoor spot. Plant out after the last frost in a spot protected from wind. A plastic tree guard may be used. Harvest in February.

or

2. Plant two seeds directly into the garden in November. Thin to one plant when the first leaves appear. Harvest these in March.
