Most vigorous watermelon varieties
Last year I got hooked on growing watermelons. I grew a few little ones and I loved it! I have no trouble growing just about everything else but I struggle with watermelons.
For this year I really want to get a good crop of melons. I learned with growing pumpkins that it can be the variety that you grow that can make all the difference. I tried growing pumpkins for years and had horrible results and then last year I tried baby pam and I got so many pumpkins I didn't know what to do with all of them...on only 3 plants. I have been asking around to try and find the most vigorous watermelon varieties. So far my top two that I came up with were summer flavor 420 and orangeglow. I just wanted to see what watermelons others have grown that were their strongest healthiest growers? Thanks Jim |
