Notes
'Clay County Yellow Meat Watermelon' (Citrullus lanatus 'Clay County Yellow Meat Watermelon') is a vegetable for the food garden and for containers. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. Its vines spread about 59 to 122 inches, so give them plenty of room. Yellow flowers appear from early to late summer and draw bees and butterflies.
Pairs well with Cajun Belle pepper, Navy bean, and Kent Beauty oregano.
