Minimum Seed Count: 10

The Golden Midget Watermelon is a little show-stopper that turns heads long before you slice it open. Its rind ripens to a bright golden-yellow, making it one of the easiest melons to spot in the garden. Despite its small size — usually 3 to 5 pounds — it packs surprisingly sweet, juicy pink flesh with that classic summer flavor. Perfect for small gardens, market stalls, or anyone who wants a watermelon that ripens early and looks like a mini pot of garden gold.

Planting Guide:

📅 When to Plant

• Can be started indoors 2–3 weeks early for a jumpstart.

📏 Spacing

• Space plants 3 feet apart with 5–6 feet between rows.

• Compact vines make it easier than growing full-size watermelon monsters.

☀️ Light & Soil

• Loves full sun.

• Prefers well-draining, fertile soil enriched with compost.

💧 Watering

• Water deeply once or twice a week.

• Reduce watering when fruits begin to ripen to boost sweetness.

⏱️ Days to Harvest

• Extremely early — about 70–80 days.

• You’ll know it’s ready when the rind turns rich golden-yellow.
