Melons


 Melons

Blacktail Watermelon

A wonderful, sweet, easy-to-grow variety that matures early and ripens 8-12” melons for months through the late summer. Great icebox variety, with a few whoppers! Open-pollinated.




Crenshaw Melon

Vigorous vines produce oval-shaped melons weighing up to 10 lbs. The salmon-colored flesh is sweet and delicious! Sow seeds in hills 4-6" apart. Allow your melons to ripen on the vine. Fruits are usually ripe when they smell aromatic and when stems start to crack. 






Crimson Sweet Watermelon

A pretty, light green melon with dark stripes, Crimson Sweet is famous for its high sugar content and great flavor. Seeds are small and dark. Give vines plenty of room to run.







Hale’s Best Jumbo Cantaloupe

Delicious, firm flesh is rich with antioxidants. To save space, plant 1 foot apart at the base of a trellis where vines can climb.






Honey Rock Cantaloupe

This melon variety produces compact 3-4 lbs fruits that are early to mature in just 80 days! Honey Rock's flesh is a tender salmon-orange hue with a delicate sweet taste. This small melon is a good size for an early melon.





Jubilee Watermelon

These oblong watermelons have a light green base with dark green stripes. This variety weighs 25 pounds or more when mature. 




Sugar Baby Watermelon


Its flavor is in its name as Sugar Baby is nice and sweet  just like sugar! This fruit grows to about 8 pounds, which is just the right size for your refrigerator. 



Snow Leopard Melon

Variegated honeydew.

Unique, personal-size, and an excellent specialty item for farmers' markets and restaurants. Melons avg. 2 lb. with firm texture and sweet flavor.
