Watermelon Starts

Description

Sugar Baby is one of the most popular watermelon varieties for home gardeners, and for good reason. These compact, round melons pack an incredible amount of sweetness into a manageable size, typically reaching 8 to 10 pounds — just right for fitting in the refrigerator and feeding a family without waste.

Beneath the dark green rind, Sugar Baby delivers bright red, crisp flesh with a high sugar content that makes every bite taste like the best part of summer. The vines are more compact than full-size watermelon varieties, making Sugar Baby an excellent choice for gardeners working with limited space or raised beds.

A heat-loving crop that thrives in Southern Virginia’s warm summers, Sugar Baby matures earlier than many watermelon varieties, getting you from garden to picnic table faster. Whether you’re slicing it fresh, blending it into agua fresca, or serving it at your next cookout, this is a variety that never disappoints.

All starts are nursery-grown at Twin Ponds Farm & Nursery in Lawrenceville, VA. Available in a 4″ pot or in 4-cell and 6-cell trays for gardeners planting in quantity. This product is pick-up only at the farm.
