The main stem is very mushy. Does anyone have an idea what the prolem is?


How big do sugar baby watermelons get, when they are ready to be eaten?

Thank You.

That's from squash vine borers. Losing battle almost every year!

Sugar Babies get between volleyball and basketball sized. They should be yellow on the bottom and separate fairly easily from the vine.

Agree on vine borers. Re-plant if possible. Borers won't bother you now.

I bury my vines every few feet and they re-root. That way I only lose part of the vine.
