The Pastèque Di Bagnacavallo is a traditional Italian watermelon variety renowned for its large, round fruits with light green skin adorned with dark green stripes. The pink flesh offers a delicate, sweet flavor, making it a refreshing choice for summer consumption.
Note: Delivered in craft paper seed bag (see second photo).
Sowing: Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date or sow directly in the ground after the last frost.
Transplanting: When seedlings have 2-3 true leaves, transplant them to a sunny location with well-drained, fertile soil, spacing plants 1.5 to 2 meters apart.
Watering: Provide regular watering, especially during fruit development, but avoid waterlogging.
Harvest: Fruits are ready to harvest when the tendril closest to the fruit dries up, and the underside of the fruit turns yellow.
Other Considerations: Mulching helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds; support vines with trellises to improve air circulation and fruit quality.
