Crimson Sweet Watermelon Care Use soaker hoses around the mounds to water roots and avoid moisture on the leaves which can cause a variety of fungal diseases. Keep plants consistently moist until fruits begin to appear. Then water only when soil is dry and reduce watering as fruits begin to ripen to concentrate sugar in the melons. Row covers or pyrethrin based insecticides will protect the plants from many flying insect pests. Harvest fruits when the rind changes from bright to dull green. Rap on fruits to check for a low-pitched tone.
