Black Beauty, watermelon

Black Beauty, watermelon

.5g approx 12 seeds per packet

Wonderful flavour in a personal sized watermelon. Crisp, juicy melons with dark, striped, firm skin over rich red flesh. Black Beauty Mini Watermelon seeds grow nice and compact plants with excellent flavour. Fruits grow 2 to 2.5kg (4-5.5 lbs). Picking watermelons from the vine, when they are at peak ripeness, is really amazing. The fruit is at its maximum sweetness, and the flavour is intense. This is not like store-bought melons at all. To check for maturity, watch the tendril nearest the stem that leads to the fruit. As soon as it withers, the fruit has reached its top ripeness.

Matures in 80 days. (Hybrid seeds)

On the Flower Farm, we like to plant these melon transplants into our tulip beds when the tulip foliage is dying back. We always have a massive harvest of personal sized melons that we harvest ripe. One of the best times of year is melon season on the flower farm!

It is essential to start seeds indoors or in a greenhouse 2-4 weeks after the last frost date. Transplant when the plants are 5 weeks old. Optimal soil temperature for germination: 20-25°C (68-77°F). Seeds should sprout in 5-10 days.

Starting

Sow seeds 1cm (½”) deep. Set transplants 60-90cm (24-36″) apart in rows 1.5-2m (5-6′) apart.
