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.
