Overview

Congo watermelon is a classic heirloom known for its large, oblong fruit and sweet, juicy red flesh. Popular for generations, this variety delivers dependable yields and that true, old-fashioned watermelon flavor perfect for summer gatherings.

Conditions

For soil, use a fertile, well-draining potting mix that’s high in organic matter. For the best quality melons, provide full sun (6+ hours of direct sunlight) and consistent soil moisture during the growing season. Watermelons also need ample vining space, so plan accordingly.

Planting

Watermelons are most commonly planted directly outdoors in the garden once soil is above 70°F.  Use our grow calendar tool to find specific planting dates for your region! Seeds germinate in 7-14 days. 

Plant seeds outdoors in groups of 2–3 seeds (each seed ~3” apart), 1" deep, 18-36" apart in rows that are 5 to  6 feet apart. Plant seeds in hills or hilled rows to keep soil temperature high and provide good drainage. Thin to 1 plant per group as seedlings develop.

Pests and Disease

"Sudden wilt" is a complex disease and cold weather stress syndrome in late summer when plants have a heavy set of ripening watermelons, can cause plants to wilt almost overnight. Keep plants healthy with good fertility and irrigation to avoid sudden wilt.

Protect against cucumber beetles with floating row covers applied at germination.

Harvest

There are 3 ways to tell when a watermelon is ripe: 1) the tendril nearest the point on the vine where fruit stem attaches is browning/dead; 2) the spot where the fruit rests on the ground is yellow; and 3) the classic mystery — you hear "punk," as opposed to "pink" or "pank," when you flick the melon with your fingers. Stems should be cut with a sharp knife close to the fruit.

Amazing!!
Color: Right - Black, Size: Large
The only issue I have with this is that I didn’t buy two of them. I literally use it every day for work. It has saved my wrist from so much pain. The way my hand rest on it. It actually has a firm side and a soft side to contour the shape of the hand a little bit better so that I was impressed by that. very very high-quality. I use it every day for the last three years maybe four years and it’s still works just like day one it feels so natural and the support that I don’t even feel it. I switched from the mouse to the keyboard and one sweeping motion that I don’t need to take my hand off of it. The height on it is amazing so much so that it gives me a natural resting position for my wrist so it doesn’t pull back. It is just a perfect height.

Premium wrist rest for a premium price
Color: Right - Black, Size: Small
Does as described. I replaced my old stationary gel wrist pad with this. There is an adjustment period to get used to laying your wrist back into it after typing but I can definitely say my wrist isn't as sore nor has that tingly carpal tunnel sensation came back after a heavy gaming session. Glides pretty smoothly on my mousepad but I'm not sure how it is on cloth pads. Worth the investment if you have the money to spend on it. Also the packaging definitely feels luxurious.

Beautiful design, noticeably less wrist pain
Color: Right - Black, Size: Large, Color: Right - Black, Size: Large
-Packaging: Simply amazing. The packaging material was great and the box has a nice sliding mechanism. Thoughtful. The box comes with instructions, a bunch of QR codes on the box for more details, and a nice carrying case. -The item: Very low profile and gorgeous design. The item is made of durable material. The 'cushions' on the top side are very comfy, especially around the areas of the wrist that will carry most of your hand's weight. The bottom is designed so that your hand can glide along with your mouse with minimal friction (using with fabric mouse pad). -Uses: 1. Work: it is a must-have if you have an office job. I have been using mine for a few days at work and I feel much less pain in my wrist. 2. Gaming: It does get a while to get used to it, but after a while the movement becomes natural and you won't notice the Carpio Just like with using it for work, you will not feel wrist pain after long gaming sessions. I believe my aim in fps games got just a bit better while using the item. Or hey, sometimes my opponent is just not having a really good day. Cons: 1. A bit overpriced. It may have taken a lot of research and design to come up with the product, but I would have been a lot happier if I had paid just a little less for the product. However, it does beat the competition in both, design and comfort. 2. Using the Carpio is pleasant most of the time, as long as your hand does not leave it, but as soon as you lift your hand off the Carpio it takes too long to find the sweet spot again. The box says it would take two weeks to get used to using the product and I'm only in my first week. I think this will change the more I get used to using the product. 3. For con reasons 1 & 2 above, I think it would not be a good idea to have two Carpios (right-handed and left-handed) to use with the keyboard Overall, I do recommend this product and love using it so far for work and gaming, but I rated it 4/5 only because of how I feel about the price.

Elevates your wrist
Color: Right - Black, Size: Large, Color: Right - Black, Size: Large
This is a great tool. No wrist pain day 1. It elevates your wrist to level with the mouse so there’s no backward strain. Takes a little getting use to but well worth no pain.
