Organic Water Melon Sugar Baby

£1.39

Sweet tasting and smaller fruited “Ice Box” type watermelon. Early and very productive with sweet, juicy, fine-textured, medium-red flesh and thin hard rind. The round, 8 to 12 lb, dark green skinned melons grow 8 inches across. Ideal variety if space is limited, as this can be trailed on trellises and faster to ripen in short summers. Drought Resistant. Ready to harvest about 75 days after seeding in favourable conditions. Can be grown outside in a warm, sheltered and sunny location, but for the most reliable crops under glass is best.
