Charleston Gray (red, 20 to 25 pounds)
I once grew a Charleston Gray that weighed 45 lbs. I picked all melons off and turned it twice a day to keep it round and smooth with no yellow spots. I took a gallon milk jug put peters plant food in it with a piece of cotton rope and stuck one end in the jug and laid one end by the root system.
I waited until I could remove the melon from the vine with a snap at the base........It was perfect for flavor.

Madera (hybrid-red, 14 to 22 pounds)

Parker (hybrid-red, 22 to 25 pounds)

Sweet Favorite (hybrid-red, 20 pounds).

Seedless (all are triploid hybrids, 80 to 85 days)

Cotton Candy (red, 15 to 20 pounds)

Crimson Trio (red, 14 to 16 pounds)

Answer 2

Depending on the weather, between 70 and 90 days. It will tell you on the seed package.

Answer 3

I hope yours grows if its you who is trying to do it. ...judging from the many times I planted them as a kid in our backyd garden. ....I would say perhaps a few weeks-thats when my parents put a small one there to make me happy thinking it had grown.. Never got one to actually mature into a watermelon for real!! I was told it probably didnt get polinated or perhaps squash plants were growing around it and DID cross polinate and ruined it??

Answer 4

Marketers decided that "seedless watermelon" would sell better than "smaller-seeded but not truly seedless watermelon".
