I've grown Sugar Baby this year for the first time, in a new raised no-dig bed. I did two plants in the same hole.

I'm three months into the growing season now (Australia), the vines have grown well but still very manageable (the leaves are tiny!), had two fruit so far and hope to get a few more.

How many per bed sort of depends on whether you need to keep them within the bed or have room for them to trail over the edges. The bed I am using is only around 5 feet by 5 feet, and they are sharing with a HUGE butternut squash plant, but I planted them in diagonally opposite ends of the bed and have trained the squash to grow over the edge of the bed and down the path while the melons get the bed surface to run around in.
