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.

Works great for scent work! Bounce is great for air retrieve!
Size: 2-pack, Style: Duo, Size: 2-pack, Style: Duo
My dog doesn’t know he loves them yet but I do! They are a little softer so when we do air retrieve, I don’t have to worry as much about his teeth! I’m hoping he will learn to find them by smell vs sight. We often play in the evenings and he tends to loose his ball. Love chuck it! Right now, we have about 10 chuck it balls! The tennis balls don’t work for air retrieve! Chuckit does!!! Love the thrower too! Saves my arm!!!!

I guess the smell is offputting
Size: 2-pack, Style: Duo
My dog loves chocolate stuff. But for some reason, wasn’t a huge fan of these balls. She played with them a little bit, but they’re not her favorite.

Much better then just using pads, and they can’t chew the pads.

Great pee pad holder
Pattern Name: Detachable high wall
This pee pad holder has made me and my pup’s life so much easier! It’s light, easy to clean, and works well with my pup! It’s a lifesaver when it’s really cold and rainy outside for my pup to have a dry place to go potty. Would recommend to all dog owners, especially those in apartments with small spaces.

Great

Great quality, easy to clean, fit well the standard pee pad (24x24). Hopefully I can get my dog well trained to not have any accidents.
