Watermelon - Sugar Baby Seeds - Organic

Sugar Baby is a sweet, small watermelon that is easy to grow and exceptionally refreshing to eat. It has fine-textured red flesh and matures in only 75 days. Sugar Baby produces anywhere from two to five melons per vine. This small melon doesn’t need a lot of space or time to ripen flavor-packed fruits. Watermelon seeds can be planted directly into the garden soil. Sow seed directly into the garden 4 weeks after the last frost and when soil is warm.  Create mounds of soil 4' apart on center and plant 3 seeds on top of each at a 1" depth. Later thin to one plant per mound. Seeds will germinate in 7-10 days depending on the soil temperature. Vines can reach 8-10' long and can be trellised to save space. Be sure to support the hanging melons with a stretchy sling or net as they grow.  The fruit is ripe and ready to pick about 5 weeks after the vine flowers. The clues to watch for are a brown tendril closest to the melon with a yellow ground spot. Each packet contains 45 Organic Sugar Baby
