Description
Sugar Baby Watermelon
With a deep green rind and bright red flesh, Sugar Baby has the sweetness and fine eating quality of large, long-season watermelons packed into small, 8-10lb fruit. Its small size makes it easy to refrigerate or pack along for a picnic! This seed packet weighs 2g.
Planting
Watermelon prefers a warm, sunny location with loose, rich soil. Start outdoors about two weeks after the last spring frost, when soil has completely warmed. Start indoors three weeks before last spring frost date. Do not disturb tender roots when transplanting. Keep plants evenly moist throughout the growing season for best production.
Harvest
Harvest melons when the tendrils nearest the fruit turn brown, and the area touching the ground turns creamy yellow.
