Sugar Baby Watermelon (Cucumis melo) is quick to grow, small (15-20cm) round, sweet watermelon, with a fine-texture, and fewer seeds than other varieties. Watermelons require a hot sunny position and plenty of moisture.
How To Grow:
- Sow 12mm deep, direct in final position.
- Sow 4 or 5 seeds in clumps, later thinning to the two strongest seedlings.
- Allow 100cm (3ft) between rows and 40-50cm between clumps.
- When the young plants have 5 or 6 leaves, pinch out their growing tips to encourage the growth of side shoots.
- Keep the plants well watered, and prepare the soil well with organic material and a complete fertiliser.
When To Plant: Spring and Summer.
Harvest: 12-14 weeks from sowing.
Quantity: 25 seeds
