I went to highland nurshery and picked out some watermelon seedlings started in pots and I got two different types when I thought I got just one. My question is which melon should I plant where.
ones called crimson sweet and it matures in 80 days but gets to 20 lbs
another is called surger baby and it matures in 75 days and gets about 7 to 10 lbs.
I have a 20 foot by 10 foot community garden plot I plan on planting one of them in/. this plot i will have more time in and get more enjoyment from and another bigger plot at the mss community garden plot that I will sadly hardly ever see/work with because I work at 12:45 am and the staff cant take me to the garden earlier in the mornings at my day program because of staffing/ time constraits . my gut feeling is plant the surgar baby at the 20 by 10 foot plot because its smaller and give away the giants to the bigger plot. I did start cream of staskewan seeds but I think they are more disease prone being an heirloom- they all died before i got them out .
I like big watermelons. Would crimson sweet work just as well.
