70 days. Citrullus lanatus. Open Pollinated. Golden Midget Watermelon. This early maturing plant produces good yields of small 3 lb golden yellow watermelon with salmon pink flesh. It is very sweet and flavorful. It is a cross between a New Hampshire Midget Watermelon and the Pumpkin Rind Watermelon. The watermelon turns golden yellow when fully ripe. Perfect for picnics. This is a very early producing variety that was introduced in 1959 by plant breeders Elwyn Meader and Albert Yaeger at the University of New Hampshire. An excellent choice for home gardens and specialty market growers. United States Department of Agriculture, PI 635598. A variety from the USA.

Watermelon Planting Information:

Watermelons require a lot of space and a sunny location in your garden. Plant 5 to 7 seeds in a diameter outdoors in hills. Planting should occur 1 to 2 weeks after the last frost. Plants grow 1 ft tall, and vines spread up to 6 ft.

Soil Requirements:

Requires fertile soil in a well-drained location in the garden. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant. Add well-rotted manure and compost to the soil.

Water Requirements:

Water well during dry and hot spells. Make sure plants get 1" of water per week.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Apply Miracle-Gro Liquid Fertilizer every two weeks.

Harvest Tips:

Protect ripening watermelons from damp ground by placing them on boards. Tap the watermelon with your knuckles, and if it sounds hollow, it's ready. Cut watermelons carefully from the plants to prevent damaging the vines.
