        I've had good results with Bonnie plants for decades. Their big watermelons were great in the past but now we just need a smaller one so we decided to try this nice little Black Diamond and after a week in the garden it looks like it is settling in for a productive summer.

        End of season harvest, had prolific fruits, definitely a longer developing fruit to peak ripeness. 100-120 days. One plant produced 20+ fruits, plenty big too. Very juicy and flavorful once ripe. 30-35lb average melon size.

          Wouldn't ripen.
          I bought these at the end of April 2024 planted they grew like crazy had a ton of watermelons not a single one was good they only ripped around the seeds like the other pictures I live in TX so perfect for melons.I think these have a genetic flaw I wonder how many others that bought the plants had this problem!!I will never buy them again very upsetting

            So far so good!
            Bought this as a seedling and didn’t do my research. Needless to say it has taken over my backyard! As of today I have 8 watermelon growing, and it is still flowering! Hoping for a good crop! 🤞🏼

              Disappointed
              Was excited to Grow these. Had 7-9 large melons (22-25lb) but the results were disappointing. See the pics. I waited until stem got brown to pick. Not worth the effort. And they have big seeds!! (Why does the pic above show it’s SEEDLESS??)

                It grows really well. Just took off once I planted it in t o a felt pot. Roots are warm and have place to grow, but my main focus is the plant. Plenty of flowers, the greenery is gorgeous and it i hope it'll taste as hoid
