Hey another person from the Detroit area! I grew sugar baby watermelon last year with good results. I also grew minnesota midget cantelope with great success. Where exactly do you live? I'm in Warren. Kim

Well then howdy neighbor:) It is nice you live so close to the river. You must be fairly close to Belle Isle then. I was able to grow some nice sugar baby watermelon last year. They are a small watermelon with lots of flavor....just large enough for a meal but not too large they won't fit in the refrigerator.
