CLIMATE 
With proper production methods and varieties bred for the area, 
Watermelons can be grown almost anywhere in the U.S.A. They 
particularly thrive in long-season areas with maximum sunshine, 
and high day and night temperatures. Minimum temperature fluc- 
tuation helps prevent cracking and poor quality due to expan- 
sion and contraction of the melons. Watermelons are extremely 
susceptible to even the lightest touch of frost.
