"This was the First time I planted watermelon and it will be in my garden from now on. I started the seeds out indoors to get a jump on the season. YES YOU CAN GROW WATERMELON IN MICHIGAN, I DID!!!
Keep it watered and you should have enough to share with friends and family."

Sweet as sugar, August 16, 2007
Submitted by wilbar from Clayton (read all my reviews) (read all my reviews)
"I germinated these seeds in gruops of three or four outdoors in little cups.I planted them in four locations and thinned each group down to the biggest vine after a few weeks.
The thin vines grew quickly eventually reaching 9-11 feet each.
The four plants produced a total of 9 melons,five of which matured to ripeness.The other four just stopped growing at various points of their immaturity.
The ones that didnt rot off of the vine grew to maturity at different sizes.I was unsure when to pick them,this is my first attempt at gardening.The bigger ones were easy.I just thumped them till they sounded kind of hollow.Then I waited another two weeks to pick them off.Maybe I just got lucky but,they were all ripe.
The smaller ones I actually squeezed till they were somewhat tender and that seems to have worked also.
I used no pesticides but didn't have a pest problem anyway.
These melons were very sweet,and had a dense texture wich packed alot of juice per square inch.They are every bit as tasty as everyone says,and easy to grow too."

"This is a very easy watermelon to grow. Mine are never bothered by pests and they forgive me when I forget to water for a few days and I have mine growing in dirt sand!"

"I grew this variety for the first time this year. The plants grew like crazy without a lot of attention from me. Except for the first week or so after transplanting into the garden, I did not water them (but for most of the growing season, rain was adequate) To determine when to pick them, I basically listened for the "hollow" sound when tapping them. In general, I sort of like watermelon, but these I enjoy tremendously. With the dark green outside rind, the pretty red flesh, the black seeds and the inside white rind, this is an attractive melon. And best of all is the taste: sweet and deeeeeeeeelicious! The only thing I can add is that if your garden space is limited, you may want to try the bush variety of this tasty melon!"
