{"product_id":"annuals-citrillus-lanatus-watermelon","title":"Watermelon","description":"\u003cp\u003eWatermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is a warm?season vining annual that performs well in the Willamette Valley when given full sun, rich well?drained soil, and consistent deep watering; start transplants after last frost or direct sow when soil is consistently above 65°F, and choose short?season or bush types for reliable harvests in our maritime climate. Most varieties mature in 70–90 days—space hills 4–6 ft apart, mulch and fertilize lightly, and harvest when the ground spot turns cream\/yellow, the nearest tendril dries, or the melon sounds hollow; excellent for market, CSA, and home gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Al's Garden \u0026 Home","offers":[{"title":"Mini Love \/ 4 Inch","offer_id":42344211775534,"sku":"134523","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0257\/2589\/4702\/files\/134523_MiniLove_Watermelon.jpg?v=1779830359","url":"https:\/\/als-gardencenter.com\/products\/annuals-citrillus-lanatus-watermelon","provider":"Al's Garden \u0026 Home","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
