A very early maturing, unique sweetly flavored muskmelon that can produce two crops in a season- excellent for Northern gardeners.Perfect for smaller gardens or containers with compact 3' vines and large crops of 4" melons with thick meaty gold-yellow flesh having a high sugar content that is edible to the rind.Very high quality melon with fine dense netting. Developed by the University of Minnesota in 1948. Resistant to fusarium wilt.
Be careful not to overwater germinating seeds or they may rot. It’s best to soak the ground or the potting soil heavily when first planting, then avoid watering again if possible until seedlings emerge.
You may enrich the soil with potassium, which melons love, by adding a little wood ash to the base of the plant. However, fertilizing the soil before planting is ideal.
Melons require a loose, warm, sandy loam of pH 7 to reach their full potential. They will not thrive on soil that is below pH 6, nor will they thrive in peat, muck, or heavy clay soil.
Seeds germinate best at 85-90 degrees F (29-32 degrees C). Maintain seedlings at 75 degrees F or higher
