Gardening: Edible Plants : How to Grow Watermelon
ehowgarden :
Watermelons are grown in warm climates, so the seeds should be planted when the soil is at least 60 or 70 degrees, allowing the vine to grow right on top of the ground. Grow watermelon, allowing them to drain between regular watering, with helpful advice from a sustainable gardener in this free video on gardening.

I read bees need to pollinate the flowers on the watermelon plants before the fruit grows.
I’ve seen bees on my plants often. Maybe no bees in your area?
I think what I read, (can’t find now) is there are two growths of flowers, the bees need to pollinate the first growth, the fruit develops from the second flowering.

offcourse…why do you think black people stereotypically freak out over them and eat them all the time.

I live in Los Angeles and it does not freeze here so does this mean if I started in spring and some grew by fall they will continue to sprout new ones during the fall and winter? Admittedly it can get pretty cold here at times but it does not freeze normally.

actually they can cross pollinate with squash. You will get “watersquash”. Ive heard they wont rippen ( turn red ) but if there golden flesh and not bitter you can eat it but it won’t be a “true” variety… I will look further into it since this is my first time trying. I know you need constant heat 4 sure. True they came from africa..

And they don’t have all that nutritious either, they’re 95% water.

also they naturally grow in the desert, so you don’t have to be that cautious.
