Sweet, Compact, and Reliable:
Sugar Baby is a favorite among home gardeners for its combination of big flavor and small-space convenience. The dark green rind and bright red interior create an appealing contrast, while the fine-textured flesh offers the rich, juicy taste that defines summer.
Why Gardeners Love Sugar Baby Watermelon:
- Classic heirloom variety known for its sweetness and juiciness
- Compact vines ideal for small gardens, raised beds, or containers
- Produces 6–10 lb fruits that fit easily in the fridge or icebox
- Early maturing—perfect for shorter growing seasons
- Consistent yields of crisp, flavorful melons all summer long
How to Grow:
Start watermelon seeds indoors 2–4 weeks before the last frost, or sow directly outdoors once the soil warms to at least 70°F. Plant in full sun with well-drained soil, spacing vines 3–4 feet apart. Water consistently during growth and reduce watering as fruits mature for maximum sweetness. Expect harvest about 75–85 days after planting.
Harvest & Enjoy:
Harvest Sugar Baby watermelons when the underside turns creamy yellow and the tendril nearest the fruit dries. Chill before slicing for best flavor. Perfect for picnics, fruit salads, and refreshing summer snacks straight from the fridge.
