What makes this variety special
Orangeglo is a variety valued for two features: first – the unusual orange flesh, which is a hit in fruit salads and Instagram photos. Second – the ability to set fruits also at lower temperatures, which is an invaluable advantage in the cool Polish summer. The fruits are large, can weigh up to 7 kg.
Step-by-step cultivation
Sowing (mid-April – May): sow seeds into 7–8 cm pots at 20–24°C. Germination after 7–14 days. Harden off indoors 1–2 weeks before planting out.
Planting (second half of May): seedlings with 4–5 leaves are planted at 1 × 1 m spacing, in holes lined with manure or compost. Sunny, sheltered position.
Care: moderate watering at the root (never on the leaves – watermelons do not tolerate moisture on leaves), potassium-phosphorus fertilization from the moment fruits set.
Harvest (August – September): a ripe watermelon gives a dull sound when tapped, and the tendril on the stem closest to the fruit dries out. The skin remains green – but becomes more matte.
Usage
Great raw – the orange flesh is a visual hit on a dessert plate. Perfect for fruit salads with feta and mint, for smoothies with mango and yogurt. You can also freeze in cubes for cocktails. The taste is very sweet, slightly more honey-melon-like than classic red watermelon.
Gardener's tip
Under one watermelon bush leave only 2–3 fruits. If you leave all the set fruits, the plant will spread its resources on small, unsweet fruits. In early July, walk along the bed and remove smaller, less developed fruits – the remaining 2–3 will grow to full size and be exceptionally tasty.
