Watermelon 'Sugar Baby' is a popular, compact variety perfect for smaller gardens or those seeking a sweet, refreshing treat in a manageable size. This variety is known for its deep red flesh, high sugar content, and crisp texture.
Unique Qualities:
Growing Season: Plant in late spring when the soil has warmed to at least 21°C. 'Sugar Baby' thrives in warm, sunny locations with well-drained soil.
Harvesting Tip: Harvest when the tendrils near the fruit dry up, and the underside of the melon turns a creamy yellow. The fruit should sound hollow when tapped, indicating ripeness.
Cooking Note: Enjoy 'Sugar Baby' fresh, chilled, or in fruit salads. Its small size also makes it ideal for sharing at picnics or barbecues.
