Golden Midget is a cute little watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) with golden rind and salmon-colored flesh. Round fruits weigh in at 3-5 pounds apiece, perfect for storing in the icebox and taking on picnics. At only 70 days to maturity, Golden Midget is a good choice for cooler climates with fewer hot days. Seed packet contains 2 G (about 40 seeds).

This variety, and all other watermelons love heat, the hotter the better. If you live in a cooler climate, start seeds indoors early and transplant to the hottest spot in your yard. True to their name, the red flesh of these giant melons is sweet and refreshing. Large, premium seed packets give instructions on how to grow and when to plant outdoors
