Golden Midget Watermelon or Early Golden Midget is a beautiful 3 lb miniature watermelon that's widely adapted with very sweet and refreshing rich-red flesh and dark-colored seeds. The thin tough green rind turns golden-orange when ready for harvest.
7-8” oval melons grow on compact vines and only need a small space, great for small or urban gardens. So early maturing that it’s excellent for succession planting.
Developed by Elwyn Meader and Albert Yaeger at the Univ of NH in 1959.
Growing tip: Melon seeds dislike cold soil. It's better to wait until the soil is warm to plant the seeds. Also, melons don't like to have their roots disturbed, so when thinning out seedlings in hills, cut the stems of those you want to remove, rather than pulling them out.
