Product information

Water Melon Sugar Baby

Enjoy the fresh taste of homegrown watermelons with Sugar Baby Watermelon Seeds. Though not typically associated with British gardens, with an early start and care, you can cultivate these delicious fruits. Sugar Baby produces small, sweet watermelons with an average weight of 4kg and a diameter of around 20cm. The skin turns almost black when ripe, revealing sweet red flesh inside. The plants have a trailing habit, requiring ample space or training around and within pots.
Handy Tip: Best grown in a polytunnel or glasshouse, but can be grown outside in a good summer, plant through black plastic so the soil remains warm.

Melon Malaga F1

Introducing Malaga Melon F1 Seeds, known for their clearly ribbed fruit and thick, juicy flesh with a sweet and aromatic taste. The deep orange inner flesh makes them an excellent replacement for Sweetheart. Enjoy the delicious, refreshing taste of homegrown Malaga Melons.
Handy Tip: Melons require training. Pinch out the main stem tip at 60cm to encourage side laterals. Select the four strongest laterals and pinch them out after 3 leaves to promote more side breaks. Pinch out these side breaks after 2 leaves and then allow another side break to grow, pinching it out after 1 leaf.
