Query
asking about watermelon sowin time
KCC answer
The best time to sow watermelon seeds varies by region, but generally, it's best to plant them when the soil is warm, ideally after the last frost. In North Indian plains, planting is done in February-March, while in the North East and West, it's November to January. South and Central India allow for year-round cultivation due to milder winters
