Overview

Congo watermelon is a classic heirloom known for its large, oblong fruit and sweet, juicy red flesh. Popular for generations, this variety delivers dependable yields and that true, old-fashioned watermelon flavor perfect for summer gatherings.

Conditions

For soil, use a fertile, well-draining potting mix that’s high in organic matter. For the best quality melons, provide full sun (6+ hours of direct sunlight) and consistent soil moisture during the growing season. Watermelons also need ample vining space, so plan accordingly.

Planting

Watermelons are most commonly planted directly outdoors in the garden once soil is above 70°F.  Use our grow calendar tool to find specific planting dates for your region! Seeds germinate in 7-14 days. 

Plant seeds outdoors in groups of 2–3 seeds (each seed ~3” apart), 1" deep, 18-36" apart in rows that are 5 to  6 feet apart. Plant seeds in hills or hilled rows to keep soil temperature high and provide good drainage. Thin to 1 plant per group as seedlings develop.

Pests and Disease

"Sudden wilt" is a complex disease and cold weather stress syndrome in late summer when plants have a heavy set of ripening watermelons, can cause plants to wilt almost overnight. Keep plants healthy with good fertility and irrigation to avoid sudden wilt.

Protect against cucumber beetles with floating row covers applied at germination.

Harvest

There are 3 ways to tell when a watermelon is ripe: 1) the tendril nearest the point on the vine where fruit stem attaches is browning/dead; 2) the spot where the fruit rests on the ground is yellow; and 3) the classic mystery — you hear "punk," as opposed to "pink" or "pank," when you flick the melon with your fingers. Stems should be cut with a sharp knife close to the fruit.

Good value.
Style: Combo, Color: Black, Size: 1 Pack
I like the keyboard's light weight and compact size. The mouse is a little small. I have large hands and the mouse still works for me. The battery lasts a very long time on both the mouse and the keyboard. This is my second MK270 Combo. The first keyboard lasted over 10 years before the keys started sticking. The mice don't last near as long but for the price you can't go wrong. Note: I thought the keyboard was dead at first. When I checked the batteries, one was installed backward.

Comfortable and responsive
Style: Combo, Color: Black, Size: 1 Pack
The Logitech MK270 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo has been an amazing addition to my setup! The keyboard feels comfortable and responsive while typing, and the mouse works smoothly with no lag. I love how easy it was to connect — just plug in the USB receiver and it’s ready to go. The battery life is impressive, and the wireless range is great for keeping my workspace clean and organized. Perfect for work, school, or everyday use!

Perfect Mouse & Keyboard Combo!
Style: Combo, Color: Rose, Size: 1 Pack
I love this combo so much I bought one for home and one for the office. I’m very picky when it comes to a mouse and a keyboard. The clicking sound drives me crazy. This mouse is very quiet and the keyboard is easy to type on. I love that the keyboard includes shortcut keys (calculator, volume control, etc.) and they actually work unlike others. I also appreciate the windows key - makes it easy to lock your computer when you’re away. The color is so pretty! Absolutely love the shade of pink. Highly recommend this product! Logitech is hands down the best!

Reliable and lasts forever Best budget option
Style: Combo, Color: Black, Size: 1 Pack, Style: Combo, Color: Black, Size: 1 Pack
I had this same model a long time ago and it lasted forever, I only had to get a new one because I lost the USB receiver, so I know for a fact they are very durable. For the price, you can't beat the compatibility you just plug it in and it works instantly. The appearance is very simple, it's not the most attractive or pretty keyboard since it has no lighting or fancy features, but it's built to last. The noise level is fine for a membrane keyboard, not too loud. In terms of ergonomics, it feels comfortable enough for daily work and the color is just the standard black that goes with everything. The best part is the battery life, it lasts months without needing a change.

Exceptional
Size: 22, Size: 22
Great quality and price. Monitors are exceptional. Would buy again without question. Screens are quite resilient, great picture. I bought three and use them in a multi Monitor setup for my work laptop, I needed something to view wireing diagrams and scan tool information qt the same time. If your a Service Technician looking for a multi Monitor set up would strongly recommend this Monitor.
