Melons
Latin Name
Cucumis melo
Description
An early introduction by the Spanish into the Greater Southwest. The fruits are varied, with orange, green or white flesh and skins that are smooth, ribbed or netted skins. A summertime favorite. Approx. 15 seeds/packet.
Culture
A warm-season crop. Plant 3-5 seeds 1/2 inch deep directly in basins, 24 inches apart with plenty of room for sprawling vines. Overwatering can dilute flavor of fruit.
Seed Saving
Annual plants are insect pollinated, and all Cucumis species cross. Male and female flowers form on each plant. Ripe fruits often have a distinct aroma. Remove seeds from cut fruit, wash off fibers, and spread seeds on paper or cloth to dry. Dry thoroughly before storing.
