WEST COAST SEEDS MELONS WATERMELON SUGAR BABY

  • Sugar Baby melon seeds produce watermelons that have a thin, hard rind with distinct stripes that become almost black at maturity.
  • The flesh is firm, sweet, almost orange-red, with small, apple-like seeds.
  • The round fruits grow to about 18cm (7″) in diameter on vines that can be grown along the ground or up a trellis.
  • Provide as much heat as possible for the best productivity by growing under a cloche, in a greenhouse, or even in raised beds. Be sure to use very fertile soil and provide even moisture through the growing season.

  • Matures in 82 days. (Open-pollinated seeds)

    Growing Melons

  • It is essential to start seeds indoors or in a greenhouse 4-6 weeks after the last frost date. Transplant when the plants are 5 weeks old. Optimal soil temperature for germination: 20-25°C (68-77°F). Seeds should sprout in 5-10 days.
  • Fruit will ripen in late August to early September. Ripe cantaloupe will easily detach from the vine when light finger pressure is applied to the stem. Watermelon is ripe when the tendril nearest to the fruit withers and dries up.


    Companion Planting For Melons

  • Melons are great companions for corn, marigolds, nasturtiums, pumpkin, radish, squash, and sunflowers.
  • Avoid planting near potatoes.
