To plant Crimson Sweet watermelon seeds, choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Prepare the soil by loosening it and adding compost or aged manure for nutrients. Plant the seeds 1 inch deep and space them about 3-4 feet apart in rows that are 6-8 feet apart. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged throughout the growing season, and consider providing a trellis or support for the vines as they grow to keep the fruit off the ground and prevent rot.
