- Planting seedlings: at the end of May – beginning of June, when the seedlings are 30-35 days old.
- Planting pattern: 70×150 cm.
For maximum yield, it is recommended to tie the plants to a trellis . Remove all side shoots before they reach a height of 50 cm, and pinch out subsequent shoots above the first to third leaf. Sow the seeds when the soil has warmed to a depth of 8-10 cm, reaching 15°C. Before sowing, treat the seeds with a potassium permanganate solution and then rinse with clean water. Plant the seedlings when the danger of frost has passed, when they have 3-4 true leaves. In open ground, plant watermelons in a 140x100 cm pattern; in greenhouses, use a 70x70 cm pattern using a trellis.

* Perhaps, it is unlikely that there is a person who will say that he does not like watermelons...
This giant berry has become a favorite of everyone. In the season when the harvest is ripe, many even use a watermelon diet to cleanse the kidneys and urinary tract, which is really effective.
But few people know that this fruit has other healing properties. For example, it is rich in iron, and therefore helps with anemia. The increased content of easily digestible sugars makes it useful for diabetes. For the treatment of liver and gallbladder diseases, including cirrhosis, Botkin's disease, atherosclerosis, hypertension, gout, gastritis, constipation, arrhythmia, coronary insufficiency, tonsillitis, obesity and various intoxications, it is recommended to include 2-2.5 kg of fresh watermelon pulp in the daily diet.
For general cleansing of the body, in the absence of contraindications, watermelon fasting is used, when only watermelons and rye bread are consumed for 3-4 days. Intensive excretion of urine during these days flushes the kidneys and urinary tract, removing grains of sand and small stones. Not only the pulp of watermelon is medicinal, but also the seeds and rind. They can be prepared for future use and used for the same diseases as the pulp, in the form of decoctions and infusions.
So, for gastritis, 100 g of dry rinds should be poured with 0.5 liters of boiling water and infused until completely cooled. It is better to do this in a thermos. Adults with an average weight of 70-75 kg are recommended to take 100-125 ml of infusion 4-6 times a day. Reduce the dosage for children in proportion to the child's weight.
For cholelithiasis and to cleanse the bile ducts, pour 150-170 g of dry rinds with a liter of boiling water, put on low heat and boil for 25-30 minutes. Take the decoction 200 ml before meals 3-5 times a day. Eating watermelon pulp in large quantities is contraindicated in renal failure, exacerbation of gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer.
