Sugar Baby, watermelon

1g approx 24 seeds per packet 
Sugar Baby Organic watermelon seeds are CERTIFIED ORGANIC! This classic heirloom icebox type melon first appeared on the market back in 1959. Sugar Baby melon seeds produce watermelons that have a thin, hard rind with distinct stripes that become almost black at maturity. The flesh is firm, sweet, almost orange-red, with small, apple-like seeds. The round fruits grow to about 18cm (7″) in diameter on vines that can be grown along the ground or up a trellis. Provide as much heat as possible for the best productivity by growing under a cloche, in a greenhouse, or even in raised beds. Be sure to use very fertile soil and provide even moisture through the growing season.
Matures in 82 days. (Open-pollinated 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.
