Watermelon seeds are used to grow watermelons through the Farming skill at level 47. Players must plant 3 watermelon seeds per allotment. They may be obtained by pickpocketing Master Farmers, the Temple Trekking minigame, from the Wintertodt reward cart, and a possible reward from the high level gamble reward from the Barbarian Assault minigame. It can also be obtained from killing various monsters, and from seed packs which are awarded for completing contracts in the Farming Guild.
A nearby gardener will watch over your growing watermelons (excluding Harmony Island) at the cost of 10 curry leaves - either noted or unnoted. Having a fully grown nasturtium or white lily planted in a nearby flower patch protects watermelons from disease and thus allow players to avoid having to pay the gardener.
Watermelons are necessary to grow on Harmony Island for the Morytania Diary. There are no gardeners on the island to watch over your crops.

Average harvest yield
Watermelons have a minimum of 3 harvest lives, increasing by 1 for each tier of compost used (for a maximum of 6 when using ultracompost). While harvesting watermelon, there is a chance to not consume a harvest life dependent on the player's Farming level. This chance scales from 49.6% at level 1 to 70.7% at level 99, interpolating linearly in between.
