They always seem to grow well in sandy soil. New Jersey seems great for them, but how about coastal New England?
 
Watermelons might not do well in New England because:

The watermelon is tender to frost and requires a long growing season with relatively high temperatures. Daytime temperatures between 70 and 80 degrees F and nighttime temperatures between 65 and 70 degrees F are ideal. Watermelons grow well in both humid and semi-arid areas, but foliar diseases are less destructive in drier climates.
 
Nothing good grows in New England. :( It's fucking potatoes and cabbage.
