What distinguishes this variety
Złoto Wolicy owes its name to the color change of the skin during ripening – from green to golden yellow. This is a great advantage because it’s easy to tell when to harvest. Fruits are round or round-oval, with firm, juicy, very sweet flesh. High tolerance to powdery mildew and downy mildew makes cultivation successful even in the wet Polish summer.
Cultivation step by step
Sowing (mid-April – early May, into pots): sow seeds into 7–8 cm pots at 20–24°C. Germination takes about 2 weeks. Single sowing, one seed per pot.
Planting (second half of May): transplant seedlings with 4–5 leaves into the ground at 1 × 1 m spacing, preferably into holes lined with manure or compost. In cooler regions, a tunnel or black agrotextile under the plants is recommended.
Care: sunny and sheltered position – watermelon does not tolerate drafts. Fertile, moist soil. Moderate watering, potassium-phosphorus fertilization from the moment fruits set.
Harvest (August – September): fruits ripen about 55 days after flower pollination. The rind changes color from green to yellow – this is a sign of readiness. Additional test: tap with a finger – a ripe watermelon sounds hollow.
Usage
Classic summer watermelon – sweet, juicy flesh, perfect raw. Great for juices and smoothies, fruit salads, and as a base for watermelon water (blended with mint and lime). The Złoto Wolicy rind is decorative – a yellow watermelon on the table makes an impression.
Gardener's tip
Watermelon is a greedy plant – one bush needs soil rich in manure or compost. Without fertilization and in poor soil, the fruits will be small and not sweet. Tip for beginners: in spring, dig a hole 50 × 50 × 50 cm, fill it with manure and cover with a 20 cm layer of fertile soil. Plant the watermelon in this hole – yields will be much higher.
