AnnualThis variety prefers a light and sandy growing area with plenty of space for large melons to form. Fruits have been known to grow up to 50 lbs a piece! Water this variety generously and consistently for about 10 days until the fruits are about the size of a tennis ball to get them started for success.
Although I had a great germination rate, and great growth of vines and leaves, there was no actual fruit produced from my 6 plants. My cucumbers and acorn squash that were growing on the same trellis fruited as normal so I know it wasn’t lack of pollinators. I’ve eaten black diamond water melon that were produced in my zone for years and they are delicious! I’ll try again next year for sure.
👍💫
i love watermelon more than i love my wife. you can't understand how much I love watermelons. i never had these but felt the need to leave this review. watermelons are great, i love them, best fruit ever. thanks for coming to my ted talk
I love Watermelon so much you don't even understand I love them more then my wife.
Originally picked up in ‘23 and never got a chance to plant within the same year but this past summer had unexpected success. Got them in the ground late and they didn’t exactly get a prime location but by late summer we had a couple of gorgeous, sweet, watermelons! Cut into the first one to share with friends over for a garden party and they were in awe, nothing like fresh grown bragging rights.

So far, everything we have purchased has had an almost 100% germination rate. And what sprouts has grown quickly and strongly. We are now big fans of MIgardener seeds!
I’ve had issues trying to germinate seeds bought from big box stores. Come to find out they are old and a waste of money. MI Gardener seeds are fresh, germinate quickly and stay good for years. My Pablo lettuce is still growing and I look forward to harvesting and eating it!
Love this green tomato! I almost missed the ripeness window because I didn’t realize that it would get the sweetest tinge of pink. (I thought it was a red tomato that was just starting to turn color, until I squeezed it!) The flavor is fresh and mild and sweet—and the color is beautiful.
Finally blooming this September to the point I’m harvesting to create soothing balms with glorious colored blooms!
I had great success with the Red Acre Cabbage. Every plant produced a nice sized head, and each weighed at least 2 pounds. The taste is great and slightly sweet. I will definitely grow this again.
