About this seed
Why gardeners choose this variety
Melons have been selected for many combinations of rind pattern, flesh texture and aroma. A dark, ribbed exterior adds a distinctive visual theme to that crop diversity, with a fresh-food use that gives the planting a clear kitchen purpose. Its vines belong in a productive melon planting with room for fruit to develop.
Grow the vines where they have room and enough suitable seasonal warmth to develop fruit. At harvest, use the melon fresh once its actual ripeness has been assessed; dark skin alone does not establish maturity or sweetness. Observe the fruit that develops and let its texture guide serving.
