Organic Watermelon Seeds — 'Sugar Baby'
Overview Everyone seems to love juicy watermelon in the summertime. Native to Africa, watermelons come in numerous different sizes and colors, all with delicious flesh inside. They grow spectacularly in warm climates with long growing seasons. Conditions For soil, use a fertile, well-draining potting mix that’s high in organic matter. For the best quality melons, provide full sun (6+ hours of direct sunlight) and consistent soil moisture during the growing season. Watermelons also need ample vining space, so plan accordingly. Planting Watermelons are most commonly planted directly outdoors in the garden once soil is above 70°F. Use our grow calendar tool to find specific planting dates for your region!
