Considered to be the best tasting watermelon by some leading watermelon connoisseurs (we want that job!). Does great in the north but also can handle heat and drought. This summer treat was developed by Glenn Drowns of Sand Hill Preservation Center in Iowa. Thanks Glenn! The dark green rind houses juicy, sweet, red flesh. Fruits are 6 – 12 pounds and will fit in your icebox. Rind is even edible and its delicious! Produces high yields of melons that keep well. Great for summer refreshment, sliced, as agua fresca, in fruit salads and as sorbet. Organic Non-GMO Annual Sun: Full Indoors: 4 weeks before last frost Direct Sow: After last frost Seed Count: 25 Days to Maturity: 70-75 Plant Size: 4′-6′ vine Growing Tips: Plant in 12″ mounds, space 2′-4′ apart in all directions. Thin to healthiest. Heaver feeder. Use trellis if needed for support. Add mulch at base. Heat loving fruit! First flowers may not bear fruit, as they are male; female flowers will grow and bear fruit. If starting seeds indoors, it is key that your new starts be hardened off. This is a process that requires taking them outside during the day, for a period of time, before they are planted. This acclimates your seedlings to the outside world, meaning the elements like the wind and sun. We do it for several weeks to a month as this strengthens their stems and overall plant structure. Start for a short period of time initially, then graduate to more time each day One week minimum is recommended Bring them inside in the early evening and overnight Keep an eye on them and constantly water them. Make sure they have not blown over.
An ancient fruit native to the Mediterranean which has many names such as Bitter Apple, desert Gourd, Citrullus Colocynthis, egusi, Vine of Sodom, Wild Gourd, Indrayan, Gudumba, Handal, Rakhale Shasa, Tamate Kayi, Pikkumutti, Chedu Puchha, Cinna Papara, Kutura Budama, Kaudatumma, paparabuda. A hairy stemmed perennial vine, commonly resembling a watermelon vine, grows in sandy, coastal, desert soil with bitter tasting poisonous fruit which yield a strong purgative used in folk medicine. Similarly bitter, seeds are edible eaten whole or used as an oil seed. High oil content. Seeds contain: linoleic acid, oleic acid, stearic acid, palmitic acid, arginine, and tryptophan. Though there are other references in ancient text one is thought to be:2 Kings 4:39-40″One of them went out into the fields to gather herbs and found a wild vine and picked as many of its gourds as his garment could hold. When he returned, he cut them up into the pot of stew, though no one knew what they were. The stew was poured out for the men, but as they began to eat it, they cried out, “Man of God, there is death in the pot!” And they could not eat it.” Heirloom
