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.
Can’t wait to grow next season
Always have loved black diamond watermelon will plant next year since didnt get early enough to plant this year. Cant wait.
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.
👍💫

Germanated quickly on a heat mat. Off the mat and growing ready to transplant early/mid april. Excited for leeks this autumn
Last year I bought seeds from my local store and I didnt get anything to germinate. This year I purchased all my seeds from MIGardener and I've had to give seedlings away cause nearly all the seeds sprouted!!!
Great germination! I'm excited to see how the onions turn out
My only complaint is that I was not prepared for how well and fast all of the seeds would grow soI had to pot up earlier than expected! I am very happy with all of the seeds I have purchased from here!
I think I got near perfect germination on these. Cauliflower has always been challenging for me to time it out and know when to harvest. I've been learning that crops that have purple or reds in them (looking at my red lettuce varieties and purple sprouting broccoli) seem to bolt less quickly than their green counterparts in heat.
