Plenty of sunslight is needed for a very good harvest ajog1

The land that is being allocated to me already has maize planted and they've grown up to 6-7 inches. Am at liberty to remove the maize plants for the watermelon. Kindly advice. I will try and obtain pictures and post here hopefully tomorrow or next. Can the watermelon do well with the maize in place and will this land already used for maize be suitable for watermelon?
