Space them widely to allow vines to spread, and water deeply at least twice a week during hot spells. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Train vines along the ground or onto supports if space is limited. Harvest fruit from late January to March when the underside turns creamy yellow and the melon sounds hollow when tapped.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDid You Know?\u003c\/strong\u003e Watermelons grown in the Western Cape often ripen earlier than expected thanks to our long summer days.
