Shop the highest quality Black Diamond Watermelon seeds and prepare to grow the legend of the garden. When it comes to size and "wow factor," Black Diamond is the "King of the Patch." This classic heirloom is famous for its near-black, dark-green rind and its ability to produce massive fruits weighing 35 to 50 pounds! At The Seed Guy®, we believe we aren't just selling a packet of seeds; we are starting a tradition with the grandkids, the excitement of watching a tiny sprout turn into a garden giant, and the pride of a "County Fair Quality" harvest that will have the whole neighborhood talking.
In the garden, Black Diamond is a vigorous grower that produces tough rinds that protect the sweet, juicy red flesh inside from sunscald. This variety is the premier choice for anyone who wants to "get your slice on"—offering a firm, "melt-in-your-mouth" texture that is the gold standard for fresh eating. It is a fantastic companion plant for nasturtiums and corn, which help provide a healthy ecosystem for the large vines.

Black Diamond Watermelon Planting Instructions:
1. When to Plant: Direct sow when the soil is warm (above 70°F) and the weather is consistently hot. Black Diamonds love the sun!
2. Preparation: Give these giants plenty of room. Prepare hills with plenty of organic matter and ensure the location gets full sun all day long.
3. Sowing: Plant 3 seeds per hill, 1 inch deep. Space hills 8 feet apart. Once the vines are 6 inches long, thin to the strongest plant to ensure all the energy goes into those giant melons.
4. Care: Deep watering is essential. If the plant gets thirsty, the fruit won't reach its full size. Avoid overhead watering to keep the leaves healthy.
5. Pests and Diseases: Keep an eye out for Squash Vine Borers. Harvest when the bottom of the melon turns from white to a buttery yellow and the skin is tough enough to resist a thumbnail scratch.
