Sugar Baby is a dependable variety that produces round watermelons about 20 cm (8″) in diameter that weigh roughly 4-5 kg (8.8-11 lbs). The flesh is crisp, red, sweet and juicy with very few seeds. The skin turns dark red when fully ripe.

How to Grow

Culture is very similar to cantaloupe and muskmelon. Seeds require 5-10 days at a soil temperature of 24 C (75 F) to germinate – any lower and germination will be inhibited. Sow 6-8 seeds per hill, 12 mm (1/2″) deep in hills spaced 1.8- 2.4 m (6-8′) from each other. After germination thin to 3-4 plants per hill. For best quality fruit never let the plants lack for water.
