Love homegrown watermelon, but don't have lots of space? Sugar Baby Watermelon saves space in the garden and in the refrigerator. The only thing oversized about Sugar Baby is its flavor—incredibly rich and sweet. Its compact vines produce plenty of 6- to 10-lb. fruits packed with sweet red-orange flesh. The melons are a perfect size for smaller families—and easy to fit into the refrigerator. The fruits have thin, tough rinds that become almost black when ripe. This heirloom variety was introduced in the 1950's and is widely adapted throughout many parts of the United States. 85 DAYS.
