This may help or Google "growing+watermelon" in your country.

lots of sun

well drained soil

the right variety for your area,

if your growing season is short try micky lee or yellow doll, you dont need a long season. irt mulch will help. direct seeding works better than transplants,

in my northeastern area, i would disagree with m.d. that a lot of water is good, watermelons are sweetest when ripened in a sunny dry season with well drained soil.

i've grown watermelon in michigan for 10 yrs now - have tried many varieties and have always had best luck with yellow doll. like all plants, watermelon likes lots of organic matter, adequate moisture and a pH around 7.0

additionally, this method variety is awesome to eat - in blind taste tests, ppl prefer it over the red melons....

Growing any kind of melon in the UK should be done under glass unless you live in the south west. You can grow them in Donkey dung in a raise coldframe, and should start your seedlings off during April-may in a frost free enviroment. Any frost will kill your tender melon plants. I would grow 1 or two plants in a 5 x 3 foot coldframe. Keep on encouraging the running limbs of the melon plant to run around and around itself to save space. You could use a bucket as a climbing template.
