The sugar-sweet, tangerine flesh of this one will knock your socks off! Perhaps the most perfectly flavored watermelon we have tried! In 2008, Mike Kiessel, watermelon expert of Leelanau County, Michigan, decided to cross the Orangeglo watermelon with a Crimson Sweet. After years of selecting and perfecting, the Leelanau Sweetglo has completely won our hearts and triumphed at our annual tasting trials! A favorite early-maturing, orange-fleshed variety excellent for northern growing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leelanau Sweetglo thrives in northern climates with shorter summers but still performs well in warmer zones. Select a site with full sun and loose, well-drained soil enriched with compost. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and reduce weed pressure. Keep fruits off the ground using straw or melon cradles to prevent rot.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511689478430,"sku":"WM220","price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/watermelon_leelanau_sweetglo3.jpg?v=1782403097","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.com\/products\/watermelon-leelanau-sweetglo","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
