A '''Watermelon''' is an [[Items|item]] of [[food]] produced via the [[farming]] [[skill]]. It is grown by planting a [[watermelon seed]] in an allotment patch. However, like [[pineapple]]s, watermelons cannot be consumed whole. Players must first use a [[knife]] to cut the watermelon into three [[Watermelon slice|slices]]. Each of these heals some [[lifepoints]] when consumed, though the number depends on the player's statistics.

Other uses for watermelons include being used as an ingredient in [[summer pie]]s, though players need level 95 [[Cooking]] to make these. They can use watermelons in a [[Compost Bin]] to make [[supercompost]], or use one to make the head of a [[scarecrow]]. Players need 6 watermelons to pay a gardener to watch over a growing [[jangerberry]] bush, or 10 to watch over a growing [[pineapple tree]].

Watermelons are useful for high levelled players in remote areas like the God Wars Dungeon or while training. It is possible to bring a full inventory of watermelons and slice them when you need them, which can be used to replace expensive food like sharks. The amount a watermelon slice heals is affected by your maximum LP in the same way as [[Saradomin brew]] or a [[Unicorn stallion]]'s scrolls. The heal rate per watermelon slice is as follows: <math>Amount Healed = 10 + \frac{_{MaxLP}}{20}</math>

Players can grow their own watermelons by planting three [[watermelon seed]]s in an [[allotment]] patch at level 47 [[Farming]]. They can plant a [[nasturtium seed]] or [[white lily seed]] in the flower patch to help protect the growing watermelons from [[Disease (Farming)|disease]], or pay the gardener 10 [[Curry leaf|curry leaves]] to watch over the plants and ensure they grow. Planting a watermelon patch earns the player 48.5 farming experience points. Harvesting a watermelon patch earns the player 54.4 farming experience points per melon. Wielding the [[Magic Secateurs]] whilst harvesting increases the yield of a melon patch by 10%.
