All About Planting Watermelons! This guy is a bit of a tricky one, not going to lie. Direct seeding is the best approach, but that only works for zone's 10 or higher. In colder climates and certainly here in Canada, we have to transplant.

So today, let's go over everything that I've come to learn in my 12 years trying to grow watermelons. We'll briefly touch on direct seeding, but the bulk of this video will focus on starting seeds early indoors, and then transplanting outside in the garden in the late spring for a mid-summer harvest. If I can grow watermelons in Canada, you can grow them where you live no problem!
