Known to be a good shipper, this variety is great for any scale of growing from home garden to large farm. Large oval fruits weigh 25lbs with a dark green medium thick rind and firm, sweet, orange-red flesh.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo Grow:\u003cbr\u003eStart indoors or in the greenhouse 4-6 weeks before average last frost. To minimize transplant stress, use soil blocks or plantable pots. Sow outside 1-2 weeks after average last frost and only after soil temperatures have reached about 70 degrees or more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdditional Tips:\u003cbr\u003eIn order to grow well, melons need a rich, sandy soil high in organic matter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeep well watered until fruits are about the size of a tennis ball, then water only if absolutely needed. Less watering, especially within weeks of harvest, will intensify the sweetness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMelons are heavily dependent on pollinators. A good fruit set is largely dependent on a healthy population of pollinators like bees.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eABOUT OUR SEEDS:\u003cbr\u003e• Non-GMO\u003cbr\u003e• US grown\u003cbr\u003e• Open-pollinated\u003cbr\u003e• Untreated\u003cbr\u003e• Tested regularly to ensure they meet the highest germination standards\u003cbr\u003e• Include full, detailed growing instructions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll of our seeds are professionally packed in ecofriendly resealable, full color packets made from recycled content and printed with vegetable-based ink (see photos).
