🍧🍉Ice Cream Watermelon. This is an extremely early maturing small fruit variety. Appearance of ordinary watermelon, yellow flesh, taste of ice cream. The flesh is extremely tender and crisp, sweet and juicy, with little fiber.
One of the earliest and sweetest watermelon we have trialled and we think the best tasting too. A delicious small icebox watermelon, 2-3 pounds each . Has a slight tendency to crack when ripe or when you try to cut the fruits, but it never last long enough to worry. Can be grown outside in a warm, sheltered and sunny location, but for the most reliable crops under glass is best.

🌱How to plant
Prepare soil by digging and incorporating liberal amounts of well-rotted compost or farmyard manure over-winter.
Watermelons thrive in a sunny, warm location.
Sow April to May 1cm (½in) deep, in 7cm (3.5in) pots of free-draining seed sowing mix.
Place in a (propagator, airing cupboard) and keep at a temperature of around 20-25C (68-77F) until after germination, usually 5-7 days.
When first true leaves develop, transplant into 13cm (5in) pots for a few weeks.
Plant out 24 inches apart after carefully hardening off after all risk of frost in a warm sheltered position in full sun or for a more reliable crop under glass.
Water regularly and feed with liquid fertilizer every 14 days.
Pinch out growing point at the 4 leaf stage and train the laterals (side-shoots) along the row.
Hand pollinate if required.
At harvest time, tap the watermelon with your knuckles, and if it sounds hollow, it’s ripe.
