Sowing Seeds Outdoors: Direct sow Bush Sugar Baby Watermelon seeds outdoors after the last frost date when the soil has warmed to at least 70°F (21°C). Choose a sunny location with well-draining, fertile soil. Watermelons prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0-7.0). Plant seeds 1 inch deep and 3-4 feet apart in rows spaced 4-6 feet apart. Water well after planting. 2. Germination: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Seeds typically germinate within 7-10 days under optimal conditions. Thin seedlings to 3-4 feet apart once they are established to provide adequate space for growth and airflow. 3. Growing and Maintenance: Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during flowering and fruit development. Water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the leaves and reduce the risk of disease. Mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and keep the soil cool. Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer or compost tea every 3-4 weeks to support healthy growth and fruit production. 4. Harvesting: Harvest Bush Sugar Baby Watermelons when the fruit is fully grown, the rind has turned a deep green color, and the tendrils closest to the fruit have dried out. The bottom of the watermelon will also turn a creamy yellow when ripe. Use a sharp knife or pruners to cut the watermelon from the vine, leaving about 1-2 inches of stem attached. 5. Storing: Store harvested watermelons in a cool, dry place. Once cut, refrigerate the fruit and consume it within a few days for the best flavor and texture. Enjoy the fresh, homegrown taste of Bush Sugar Baby Watermelons in your garden, kitchen, and table all season long!
