Why Gardeners Love Georgia Rattlesnake Watermelon:

How to Grow:
Start watermelon seeds indoors 2–4 weeks before the last frost or direct-sow outdoors once soil temperatures reach 70°F. Plant in full sun and rich, well-drained soil with plenty of space for vines—about 4 feet between plants and 6–8 feet between rows. Water deeply and consistently during fruit development. Expect harvest about 90–95 days after planting, when the underside turns creamy yellow and the nearest tendril dries.
Harvest & Enjoy:
Cut ripe Georgia Rattlesnake watermelons and chill before serving for peak sweetness. Their large size makes them perfect for sharing at picnics, barbecues, and family gatherings. Slice into classic Southern flavor with every bite.
