Charleston Gray (red, 20 to 25 pounds)
I once grew a Charleston Gray that weighed 45 lbs. I picked all melons off and turned it twice a day to keep it round and smooth with no yellow spots. I took a gallon milk jug put peters plant food in it with a piece of cotton rope and stuck one end in the jug and laid one end by the root system.
I waited until I could remove the melon from the vine with a snap at the base..It was perfect for flavor.

Madera (hybrid-red, 14 to 22 pounds)
Parker (hybrid-red, 22 to 25 pounds)

Depending on the weather, between 70 and 90 days. It will tell you on the seed package.
I hope yours grows if its you who is trying to do it. ...judging from the many times I planted them as a kid in our backyd garden. .I would say perhaps a few weeks-thats when my parents put a small one there to make me happy thinking it had grown.. Never got one to actually mature into a watermelon for real!! I was told it probably didnt get polinated or perhaps squash plants were growing around it and DID cross polinate and ruined it??
