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 Sow after all danger of frost when soil is warm (around 70°F+). Can be started indoors 2–3 weeks early for a jumpstart. 📏 Spacing Plant seeds 1 inch deep. 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.
