Citrullus lanatus
2 gram heirloom seed package
Bush Sugar Baby is an early watermelon for those limited on space, but not taste.
This perfect little melon has only 3-4' vines and bears two 12 lb melons per plant.
Light striping, great blue-black skin with contrasting sweet, red, firm flesh.
Can be trellised.
Perfect for those with a short growing season.
TIP: Do not pick watermelons until the tendril has been brown for a week. This will ensure top flavor and sugar quality. We also quit watering them about 2 weeks before finishing. This concentrates the flavor.
