Watermelon 'Klondike Striped Blue Ribbon'

I just started growing Klondike Blue Ribbon watermelons along with several other varieties to see what will sell at a roadside market in ...Read MoreMississippi. They have popped out of the ground and look good so far. I am trying to remember how many seeds that I planted, but it looks like all or most of them have germinated, and I cannot say that about any of the other varieties that I planted this year--not even Orangeglo. I am not new to gardening, but I am relatively new to growing watermelons. It is on land that I inherited, and my mother says that my father never had any luck with watermelons. I studied the problem and think I know why he did not succeed with watermelons. He would not use organic feritilizers or address his Blossom End Rot problem although I told him what to do. I am praying for these and praying that God will be merciful in all of my mistakes.God is on my side; they look good!

This is a good producer. It may have some tendency to hollow heart. It is very sweet and juicy.
