Bush sugar baby watermelon?

DocBrock · April 8, 2018

I bought a pack of Burpee bush sugar baby seeds and planted them at the end of January. They sprouted right away and took a minute to get going, but in the last 2 weeks the vine has grown to just under 6'. There's flowers all over it and it's set about 6 fruit that were pollinated and currently growing. All is well, however I planted it in a storage tote container and intended on growing it up a trellis. Has anyone grown this variety? The package said the vine grows about 3-4' and is good for containers. I'm starting to think I got a different seed in the pack. It's supposed to be a seeded melon so I don't think they would have added a pollinator variety to the pack like they do with seedless melons.
