*Select a sunny location with well-drained, sandy soil. Plant the seeds directly in the garden after the last frost, placing them about 1 inch deep and spacing them 3 to 4 feet apart, allowing ample room for the sprawling vines.
*Ensure consistent soil moisture throughout the growing season, particularly during fruit development. Applying a layer of mulch around the plants helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
*Congo Watermelons typically mature in 85-100 days. Keep an eye on the tendrils near the stem; when they dry and turn brown, the watermelon is ready for harvest. Gently thump the watermelon; a deep, hollow sound indicates ripeness.
