Melon Orange-Flesh Honeydew

Description

Orange-fleshed honeydew is externally similar to green honeydew, having white to pale green skins, but inside they have cantaloupe-colored flesh that has a stronger honey flavor. Produces high yielding 5 lb. fruits that are great for transporting to markets.

Sow seed ½ to1½ inches (13-38 mm) deep. Seeds germinate in 4 to 10 days at 80°F (27°C) or warmer. Transplant melons into the garden after the soil has warmed to at least 70°F (21°C) for optimal performance. Space plants in the garden 24 to 36 inches (60-90 cm) apart in all directions.
