Planting Instructions:

• Sowing Time: Late spring to early summer (after last frost)

• Position: Full sun

• Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil (preferably sandy loam)

• Sowing Depth: 2-3cm deep

• Spacing: 90-100cm apart (watermelons need space to spread)

• Germination Time: 7-14 days

• Harvest Time: 70-90 days from sowing (when melons sound hollow when tapped)

Growing Tips:

• Watermelon Sugarbaby thrives in warm weather and should be planted in an area that receives full sun for at least 6-8 hours per day.

• Keep the soil consistently moist during germination, and water regularly as the plants grow, but avoid overhead watering.

• Once established, watermelon vines spread, so make sure they have enough space or grow them in large containers.

• Fertilize lightly with a balanced, organic fertiliser during the growing season.

• Harvest when the melons are fully ripe, indicated by a change in sound when tapped and the tendril closest to the melon turning brown.
