vue - Harvesting Sugar Baby Watermelons
This is the first time for me growing sugar baby watermelons. I harvested this first one, though it is small, with the idea that the curly tendril is dried, and therefore the watermelon must be ripe. Overall, it looked OK. It was sweet. I think that it could have gone one more week.

Sorry but that is not a ripe melon

This could get a lot riper. Sugar babies will pinken up to 1/2" or less of rind. When you think it's ripe? let it go another week or so. Start checking daily. Grow AWAY from other garden plants. You CAN get up to a dozen sugar babies from one plant. Water 1-2 gallons of water DAILY. Offer good bedding or resting spot for fruits that WILL survive. Sweeney Said Seeds, 100% organic. No internet sales. Hit me up for a 10 pack.

Thank you much! I have one sugar baby watermelon and I wasn't sure when to harvest it. 😊

Nope that is not ripe!!! Are you blind!
-
It's going to turn to dust by the time you shut your trap!!!!!
-
those are good for u and its healthy
-
The tendril needed to be brown and really dry.

our seed pack said 90 days to maturity, armed with the knowledge of tendrils spots and loving taps, I'll start around the 3 month mark. it seems like when the tendril is not only dried but also curly and possibly falling off is the condition you want to look for, Love these things, I grew them years ago , sewed them in the late spring, was gone all summer, and would come home late august and search for survivors, they were always the size of lopes and very dark skinned by then, ALWAYS lush sweetness

the yellow and white on the bottom means nothing. it's just the side that on the ground. if you turn your melon you won't get the light spot. so that's not a factor to look at if it is ripe. We had a perfect light spot and we cut into the melon and it was all white at 80 days...
-
the curly tendril is not an accurate way yellowing on the bottom is but even then it could be under ripe. when you think it's right wait 2 weeks then pick it high-waisted three 35-pound pound watermelons using that method. but I still got three good ones
-
You're supposed to let the melon sit for 2-3 days after you pick it to let it ripen
-
how big are these supposed to get? Mine are kind of large but still pretty small, but they do have the light yellow on the bottom. So confusing.

that sugar baby watermelon is not ripe you should have waited about 2 more weeks and the best way to tell if a watermelon is ripe is when it turn to a light yellowish white color on the bottom and you shouldn't rotate it because that's the best way to tell if a watermelon is ripe is when it turned to a light yellowish White on the bottom and you shouldn't rotate it. I have never picked a watermelon that was a yellowish white on the bottom and it wasn't ripe. so you can't really base it on that Curly' stamm being dried up. as to it being ripe. that curly stemm could dry up for what ever reason just like some leaves do on melon. so it not good to go by that.I have seen lots of watermelons Curly' Stamm dried up and it not be ripe and by the way am just curious to why would you rotate a watermelon as it growing. unless you plan on useing it for decoration. even than a melon being yellowish white looking on the botton is the natural look of a melon

This is my first year growing sugar babies. I looked at one today that had a big yellow spot on the bottom but the tendril wasn't dried up. It's not easy to tell when these things are ripe.
