Melon

Direct seed into composted hills, or start indoors 4 weeks before the last frost. Ensure adequate spacing as vines will travel. Plants do not like to be disturbed, so biodegradable pots are best. Keep well watered for best results. 25 seeds minimum.

• Moon and Stars (Van Doren)
  Created a sensation when Seed Savers Exchange disseminated this legendary long-lost variety. Kent Whealy searched for years before rediscovering it on Merle Van Doren’s farm near Macon, Missouri. The 15" dark green, oval fruits are covered with pea-sized bright yellow "stars" and usually one larger "moon." Foliage is also spotted. The fruits have sweet pink flesh and brown seeds. 88–90 days.



• Oh So Sweet
  A super sweet watermelon originally from Texas, it definitely lives up to its name. Productive vines bear many medium, round, striped fruits with a high sugar content. 90 days.



• Orangeglo
  An extraordinary orange-fleshed watermelon originally offered by the Willhite Seed Co. in Texas in the 1980s. The flesh is crisp, sugary and delicious. Large oblong fruits are up to 25 lbs. Reliable producer. 90-100 days.



• Sugar Baby
  The standard and first of its kind icebox watermelon. Deep green rind and brilliant red flesh. 8-10 lb fruit. My favourite watermelon and does well in our climate. An early producer, 80 days.
