Watermelon (Pakwan) Planting Time

So here is my update about our watermelons.My people started transplanting watermelon seedlings already after cleaning the needed area. The lower parts of the rice which were left after harvesting rice were removed for digging soils. They had two rows of seedlings planted with a canal in the middle which will serve as a waterway in case there will be a strong rain fall which will flood the field.










It is a must to have this waterway this early even there is still no strong rain or storm in sight in order to avoid any problem in the future. There have been instances before that some planters forgot to prepare waterway in their watermelon farm which caused some of their seedlings to rot after being under water for some time.

Another picture to show how my people planted watermelon. Notice the waterway that they have dug in between 2 rows.
