Hills are about 4 feet apart and are thinned to the 2 best vines 440. This one is early, productive, thin skinned, yellow, and delicious. One hill yielded twelve fruit and we are still picking in late September. The largest ones exceeded eight pounds, although more typically they were 5-6 pounds. Fruits are round, medium green with dark green stripes, rinds are thin and the lemon yellow flesh is dramatic to see and taste.
Fruits are similar to Sugar Baby in size, and flavor is excellent.
Can also be grown on short supports for even greater space efficiency. Early enough to be grown almost anywhere. Flavor is as good as the larger shipping melons, perhaps better. Fruits average 7 inches in diameter and are perfectly round. It is even sweeter than Pony Yellow and very juicy.
