Watermelon
1 plant/ 3.5” pot.
Melons are cold sensitive!
When growing melons outdoors in Central Oregon, we recommend always growing them under the shelter of a mini hoophouse. Lift plastic up during the day for ventilation and close in the evening to retain heat.
‘Blacktail Mountain’: Open Pollinated. Expected days to maturity in Central Oregon: 84-89 days. Developed in Northern Idaho where summer nights dip into the 40s, we can attest to how well Blacktail Mountain performs at our cool trial ground. A consistently high producer of 9 inch round, dark green fruit with candy-sweet, red flesh. Also performs well in hot climates, making this a wonderful choice for any gardener.
‘Cal Sweet Bush’: Open Pollinated. Expected days to maturity in Central Oregon: 104 days. A patio-friendly, compact watermelon! Where traditional watermelon plants tend to be very pushy, intruding on neighboring crops, this one keeps a respectful personal space of 14–18” making it the ideal container plant. It produces admirable 10–12 pound fruit that rival the size of melons from much larger plants. With juicy, crisp, sweet, red flesh, Cal Sweet Bush has the classic watermelon flavor and texture that everyone loves.Blacktail Mountain
‘Juicebox’: Expected days to maturity in Central Oregon: 84 days.Early maturing watermelon at a convenient icebox size, around 5–8 lb. A standout for consistent fruit quality and refreshing flavor.
‘Sugar Baby’: Open pollinated. Expected days to maturity in Central Oregon: 90 days. The standard of small watermelons. Round fruits, 6–8" in diameter, averaging 8–10 lb. Ripe melons are almost black. Good flavor. Tough rinds resist cracking.
