Water melons require heat preserving measures and you will need plastic mulches, drip irrigation, row covers and wind protection. Watermelon vines are easily affected by air pollution also.

they do need plenty of light to ripen, so if you don't have a long growing season then you will probably need to start them off with all over those things in order to ensure that there is still plenty of light for them to ripen in later in the season.
I have had pumpkins grow that way just by throwing the seed on the ground. I have never had any luck getting watermelons to grow. I really don't know why because they are suppoused to grow real well in the area I am at.
