Hardiest watermelon variety
I grew watermelons this this year and it's kind of tough to get good ones. I tried blacktail mountain and I only got one that was the size of a large grapefruit.
The golden midget I grew did ok but I didn't really like them. I grew hime kansen and little baby flower and they were small but tasted great. I notice the same thing with my tomatoes. Some vareities do great. They are strong healthy plants and some are pretty weak. For instance the sunsugar and Aunt Gerties gold did great...big strong plants and great fruit. But the momotaro I grew was pretty weak Anyway I'm just looking for some really strong healthy vigorous watermelon varieties for next season. Thanks Jim |
