| 75 days. Every single AAS judge noted the outstandingly sweet flavor of this gourmet-quality icebox melon, awarding it top honors for flavor. The rind is thin, with a light green base overlaid with thick dark green stripes. And the flesh is a most unusual bright orange, with a thin ring of black seeds! Just 5 to 7 pounds, this is called an "icebox" type because it actually fits in the crowded fridge. Try this award winner and taste the difference! Sow direct when the soil is warm and all danger of frost is past. Sow the seeds in raised hills or rows 3 inches high. Thin to 3 plants per hill 3 feet apart, or 1 plant per foot in rows. For earlier fruit, seeds may be started indoors. Pkt is 10 seeds. |
