Provide full sun and a fertile soil when planting melons. Plant 2-3’ apart in rows 6-8’ apart. Watermelon vines need room to sprawl. Good soil moisture is important in early stages of growth and during pollination when fruits are setting. Do not water the last week before fruits are ripe, as overwatering can cause bland fruit.
Sugar Baby – ideal plant for gardeners with limited space; vines only reach around 3 feet in length. Early producer; the juicy & sweet little 6-12 pound fruit should be ready to harvest in 75 days. Flesh is deep scarlet; skin is dark green with no striping.
Orangeglo – beautiful, deep orange flesh, very sweet flavor. High yields, strong vines are resistant to wilt and insects. Introduced by Willhite Seed Co. prior to 1965.
