Description
The 'Mini Love' F1 watermelon is a remarkable hybrid variety. It is an early mini watermelon that produces up to 6 adorable small fruits weighing between 1 and 3 kilos, which is the size of a large canteloupe melon; perfect for a family! Their striated, bright green skin encloses a delicious red flesh, almost seedless, crispy and sweet. 'Mini Love' is also known for its disease resistance and good storage properties.
The Watermelon is an annual vegetable plant with creeping stems. It is grown for its cylindrical fruits, with sweet and melting flesh that is consumed raw like other melons. It is a very refreshing fruit highly appreciated in hot regions. It is also used to make very good jams and sorbets. Watermelons have antiscorbutic, purifying and refreshing properties, and contain vitamins (A, B, C) and minerals (calcium, magnesium, iron).
The watermelon requires well-fertilised soil, a warm and sunny exposure, as well as regular watering.
Harvest: Watermelons are harvested when ripe: they lose their shiny colour and sound hollow when tapped.
Storage: They can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days once cut open.
Gardener's tip: Regular hoeing and weeding is recommended, and mulching is advised.

Planting and care
Planting:
First, grow the plug plants by transplanting them into trays or pots measuring 8 to 13 cm (3 to 5in) in diameter, filled with compost. Caution: When transplanting grafted plants, do not bury the graft point! Place the plants in a warm and bright location. Water regularly.
Planting in the ground should be done when the risk of frost is eliminated and the soil is sufficiently warmed up. Space the plants 1 m (3ft) apart in all directions. Dig a hole, place your plant with the graft point at ground level, without burying it, and cover with fine soil. Firmly press down and water to keep the soil moist.
Watermelon cultivation requires regular watering (about 2 times a week in summer, depending on the climate). Be careful, only water the base and not the leaves to prevent the development of mildew and powdery mildew. Regularly weed and hoe.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
