Di Bagnacavallo - Watermelon
This old Italian variety produces large, rounded, light-green fruits with dark-green stripes, weighing 6 to 10 kg. They contain tasty, sweet pink flesh. It was saved thanks to Eugenio Mingozzi's selection work using seeds found in Canada.
This variety, lost in Italy, had been imported to Canada by migrants from the Romagna region.

Sow in pots at temperatures between 20 and 30°C, 6 weeks before planting. Transplant with the root ball, after the last frosts, in planting holes enriched with compost, spaced 1.5 m apart in all directions. Sowing in the open ground is possible, under the same conditions, when the soil is well warmed and outside temperatures no longer fall below 15°C.
Watermelons need plenty of heat and regular watering to thrive.
