| I'm growing both sugarbabies and large watermelons in my sfg and have quite a few little melons growing on each vine.
Am I supposed to only have a few watermelons per vine? Should I be pinching some off? (I always feel bad when I do that!) Thanks in advance for your replies... Kristine (my first garden ever!) |

| It is up to you. If the fruits are growing to their full size then you can stick with what you have, otherwise remove some. Many folks remove all but 2 mellons from the vines. I was told (by a gardening catalog) that sugar babies normally only set 2 (or so) fruits. LOL. Wonder where they go that idea from as that wasn't my experience with them and doesn't appear to be yours either.. |

| Thank you for replying... maybe I'll remove some melons from one or two vines to see if they grow bigger. Thanks :) |

| Hi All, I am a novice at gardening, this is my first year and I am truly loving the outcome. I have tomatoes and cucumbers and wanted to try watermelon. I got the seeds from a mail order company a few days ago that are suppose to send when it is right for planting. Is it to late to sart them? They are sugarbaby watermelons |

| Too late for watermelon this year. I would save the seed for next year; they should be fine. |
