Watermelon plants require full sun, and well-draining soil with high organic content. The sugar baby is a fantastic early maturing variety. Early maturity allows cooler parts of Australia to produce watermelons, where larger varieties don’t have time to mature. The vines will spread out 12 feet or longer, with each plant producing two or three melons. Plants need consistent and plentiful moisture.
