Is there a variety of watermelon that does well with limited sunshine? Like the Shady Lady variety of tomatoes that can produce well with something like five or six hours of sunlight a day? I'm particularly thinking along the lines of an icebox watermelon along the lines of a Sugar Baby size that I can grow in grow bags.
Low-light Watermelons?

Limited sunshine together with grow bags will significantly reduce your chances of producing watermelons.
Crimson sweet has been reported to be adaptable to reduced sunshine, but I can't confirm.
I too was thinking maybe a small watermelon may work but I don't know. I do have better luck with Crimson Sweet than I do with Sugar Babies for some reason even though they are about the same size so try Crimson Sweet.
