If you’re looking to enhance your garden this season, buy Sugar Baby Watermelon seeds! This delightful fruit offers a wonderful, sweet flavor that everyone loves to rave over.
Sugar Baby Watermelon thrives in warm weather and well-drained soil. Ensure the plants receive ample sunlight, water, and nutrients, and you’ll be rewarded with delicious, small 6–10-pound watermelons that are perfect for picnics or summer parties.
Once your Sugar Baby Watermelons are ripe, typically in about 75 to 80 days, harvesting becomes a joy! Their small size makes them easy to handle, allowing you to enjoy the fresh taste of home-grown watermelons in no time.
Watermelon seeds can be started early indoors, usually 3-4 weeks before your intended date to plant outdoors, if you have a short growing season. When transplanting outdoors, ensure they are given plenty of sunlight and warm temperatures. In addition, watermelon plants don’t do well with constant moisture on their leaves, as watermelon plants are susceptible to foliar disease, so it’s best to use drip irrigation, if possible, to keep the leaves as dry as possible. If drip irrigation isn’t an option, just try not to overhead water and keep the leaves as dry as possible.
