Watermelon Sugar Baby is a sweet, fine-textured round watermelon with a few seeds, it is relatively quick to grow, producing small fruits, 15-20cm across. Watermelons require a hot sunny position and plenty of moisture.
Sow 12mm deep, direct in final position. Sow 4 or 5 seeds in clumps, later thinning to the two strongest seedlings. Allow 100cm between rows and 40-50cm between clumps. When the young plants have 5 or 6 leaves, pinch out their growing tips to encourage the growth of side shoots. Keep the plants well watered, and prepare the soil well with organic material and fertiliser. Sow in spring and summer.
