Easy. If you think it won't freeze anymore, put them out tomorrow. If they don't freeze, you'll get watermelons when you get them, secure in the knowledge that you got them out as soon as you could.

If they all freeze out, make notes on the calendar for future likely freeze dates, and watch for the sales in the late summer, where you can buy 100 lbs. of watermellons for what you paid for the seeds.
A little snarky, but the principal in the northern climes is very simple- start plants in the house or greenhouse, and put them out as soon as it quits freezing at night. You need the longest time possible for fruit to ripen.
