Watermelon - Sugar Baby (Seeds)

Description

A dependable variety that produces round, sweet watermelons about 20 cm (8″) in diameter and weighing roughly 4-5 kg (8.8-11 lbs). The flesh is crisp, red, sweet and juicy with very few seeds. The thin hard skin turns dark red when fully ripe.

How to Grow

Very similar to cantaloupe and muskmelon. Seeds require 5-10 days at a soil temperature of 24 C (75 F) to germinate – any lower and germination will be inhibited. Sow 6-8 seeds per hill, 12 mm (1/2″) deep in hills spaced 1.8- 2.4 m (6-8′) from each other. Thin to 3-4 plants per hill. Never let the plants lack for water.
