Why Choose Golden Midget Watermelon?

• Quick maturity: Fruit can be ready in about 70 days, making this a useful option for gardeners working with a shorter season.
• Distinctive appearance: The golden-hued fruit adds visual interest to the garden and the harvest basket.
• Compact growth: Its manageable habit is well suited to home gardens where space matters.
• Heirloom character: This open-pollinated variety connects your garden to a seed line maintained across generations.
• Enjoyable harvest: Sweet, flavorful watermelon is refreshing fresh, chilled, or shared at summer gatherings.

Planting Tips for Success

• Choose the right timing: Plant after the danger of frost has passed and the soil is warm. In shorter-season areas, start seeds indoors and transplant carefully.
• Give vines room: Choose a sunny location with fertile, well-drained soil and enough space for the vines to spread.
• Water consistently: Keep soil evenly moist while plants establish and during fruit development, avoiding repeated cycles of extreme dryness and saturation.
• Feed thoughtfully: Improve the soil with finished compost and use a fertilizer appropriate for fruiting vegetables according to the product label.
• Support the plants: If you grow the vines vertically, use sturdy support and provide individual support for developing fruit.
• Protect the harvest: Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and help keep developing fruit clean. Watch regularly for pests and disease, and respond with practices suited to your area.
• Harvest carefully: Look for the variety's characteristic color and other maturity signs, then cut the fruit from the vine rather than pulling it.
