Hair loss is another sign that thyroid hormones may be out of balance. Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can cause hair to fall out. In most cases, the hair will grow back once the thyroid disorder is treated.
However, watermelons need a long, warm growing season to flourish. Knowing when to plant watermelon will help you harvest a bounty of large ripe melons. Watermelons can grow in USDA Hardiness Zones 3 through 11 and need 70 to 90 days to reach maturity, depending on the variety. Soil temperatures must be at 60- to 65-degrees Fahrenheit at the 4-inch depth, or watermelon seeds will not germinate. Average air temperatures must be between 70 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
How soon melons bear fruit is largely based on the type of melon, as well as the specific cultivar. Cantaloupes are among the first melons to produce fruit -- typically within 35 days of pollination. Early varieties, including Earli-Sweet and Alaska, produce fruit even sooner. Honeydew melons take between 45 to 60 days to bear fruit, while watermelons need a long, warm season. Small icebox watermelon, such as Sugar Baby, produce fruit in as little as 75 days, but big whoppers, such as Florida Giant or Cannonball, need between 90 and 115 days to ripen.
