Sugar Baby Watermelon is the perfect small-garden watermelon — developed in 1959 and still one of the most beloved varieties around. Cute, round 5–6 lb fruits with a nearly black rind when ripe and sweet, reddish-orange flesh underneath. Fridge-friendly size, somewhat drought tolerant, and ready in just 76 days. Can be trellised to save space. Certified organic, heirloom, and open-pollinated — the watermelon that proves you don’t need a big garden to grow a great melon.

Growing tips

🌱Start indoors 2–3 weeks before last frost or direct sow after frost when soil reaches 70°F. Set out 3–4 transplants per hill and thin to the strongest 2 when vines reach 1–2' long.
🧱Can be trellised to save space — use fabric slings to support developing fruits on the trellis. In open gardens, let vines sprawl on mulched ground to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
💧Water well until vines are established, then water more sparingly as fruits develop — reducing water near harvest concentrates sweetness. Mulch heavily to retain moisture and prevent weed competition.
🍉Harvest when the tendril closest to the stem turns dry and brown and the stem becomes brittle — the surest sign of ripeness. The nearly black rind and hollow thump confirm it’s ready. Eat fresh, freeze in honey syrup, or pickle the rind for a Southern classic.
