Cream Of Saskatchewan - Watermelon
This ancient variety, perfectly adapted to cool climates, produces an abundance of beautiful round fruits, 35 cm in diameter and weighing 3 to 6 kg, with a speckled green skin. Their juicy, pale-yellow flesh has a very mild, sweet flavor.
This variety contains the "explosive" gene: the fruit bursts at the slightest impact.

in bucket, in the ground
Sow in pots at temperatures between 20 and 30°C, 6 weeks before planting. Transplant with the root ball, after the last frosts, in planting holes enriched with compost, spaced 1.5 m apart in all directions. Sowing in the open ground is possible, under the same conditions, when the soil is well warmed and outside temperatures no longer fall below 15°C.
