What variety of watermelon will grow best in Ballina NSW. Do you know any suppliers of these seeds around this area? Thanks Linda

I have grown the variety Sugar baby succesfuly around Byron Bay. The melons are the best I have ever had, juicy and extremely sweet and they seem to suit warm climates. You can buy the seeds from places like Bunnings or Mitre 10, or if you want organic seeds then there is great supplier called Greenpatch Seeds based in Taree that will post you seeds for $2. Good Luck!
