HONEYDEWS MELONS: A very popular type of melon are Honeydews. Refreshingly juicy flesh that can be green, white, or orange, they have smooth green and white rinds. A little milder but the flavor is similar to a cantaloupe.

WATERMELONS: Why this is by far the most popular variety of melon, anyone who has enjoyed fresh from the vine watermelon will have no problem understanding.

Growing Instructions

Melons are eaten mostly during summertime fruits. In order to ripen properly, they need warm weather (at least a 70 degree average) and long daylight hours. After all chance of frost has passed, melon seeds must be planted. Make sure to leave at least a few feet in all directions for the plant to grow as melon plants are large and hungry.
