Notes
'Sweet Favorite' watermelon (Citrullus lanatus 'Sweet Favorite') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. The vines sprawl along the ground, so give them room to spread. Bees visit the flowers in summer.
Pairs well with Carolina Gold tomato, Itachi cucumber, and Dukat dill.
