My favorite melon ever, and grows prolifically -- tons of melons -- without any black plastic. Increasing difficult to find. Also one of the very earliest melons. And best of all, it turns from dark green to orange overnight when it is ripe, so you never have to guess! Works well for fresh winter garden growing as well as summer. Annual. 8 heirloom seeds, chemical-free seeds per pack. The best self-seeding cantaloupe on earth, as long as you don't let other cantaloupe pollinate it. Free shipping on orders over $32.
