PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS:

Plant in hills 4-6 ft apart with 2-3 plants per hill

• After midsummer remove blooms and smaller fruits so plants can focus energy to making larger fruits as smaller fruits will not have time to mature before season ends.

• Melons are ready for harvest after 75-90 days, or when they appear to reach their full size. As the melon ripens they become very fragrant, golden in colour and the blossom end will be soft, and the stem should come away easily.

• Harvesting seeds: place seeds into a bowl of water. Remove the floating pulp and any seeds that float to the top; viable seeds will be at the bottom. Dry on a paper towel and store in a cool dark place until use ( good for approx 5 yrs)

• This variety is wilt resistant

• These melons ship and store well for fall and winter use.

• Attracts bees, butterflies and birds
