I've grown both Blacktail Mountain and Sugar Baby but have never had much success with watermelon. Last year I grew Will's Sugar but only a few were ever pollinated. The bees seems to prefer the cukes next to the melons much more. This year I'll be trying Early Hanover because of the Richmond, Va. connection--I'm in Va. Beach. If these don't do well, I'll probably use that space for something else next year. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed for at least a few good melons. Last year Jenny Lind gave me a few but I'd like a little better production. I prefer the green fleshed melons so I hope they do well.
