Sugar Baby Watermelon seeds
Sugar baby watermelons are easy to grow and ideal for container gardening, and smaller gardens with limited space. These can be grown and trellised in a container as small as 5 gallons. Sugar baby watermelons are exceptionally sweet, with each melon weighing 8-10 pounds.
These also perform well in raised beds, along wire fences, or crawling along the ground. Watermelons have an addiction to long hours of full sun. Watermelons need sandy-type soil with a consistent watering schedule, and a bright spot to flourish. These can be grown if you have a balcony or patio, just make sure your watermelons are facing the south to get the proper amount of sun.
