This 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.

I grew only a few seeds, but they came up fine, and I was able to get some delicious, sweet melon! I sprayed it once with a copper fungicide, and I should have done it a second time, but I still go melons. (I have a struggle with fungal problems here). Easy to grow, easy to eat!
This stuff feed my garden all summer. Highly recommend
This was one of my first tomatoes from MIgardener seed and I loved it so much. Very tasty green tomato, and even though it was only in a smallish container, it was one of my best producers! Nice clusters (not quite so big and dense as the photo, for me at least...) and great flavor for eating fresh in the garden. I'm not the best with tomatoes, I don't treat them as well as I should, and I grow in Seattle (8b?) which is finicky weather every year, so I was surprised these did so well! Will definitely grow again. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures saved on the vine, but the little green one in the attached photo is one of them!
Love sales. Time to stock up
Pollinators love this flower. Especially honey bees.
They grew in spring then reseeded themselves for fall.
