If started indoors, you can be harvesting melons by late July. It also seems to tolerate transplanting better than many other melons. An heirloom of great distinction. Still the sweetest melon around. Fruits are 1-2 pounds in size and have a turban at the blossom end.
Flesh is lime green.
5 foot vining plants are prolific in setting delectable fruits. The color of both the skin and the flesh is white. The skin becomes tinged with yellow when the melon is fully mature. It's hard to tell when they are ripe since they don't slip and the color change is subtle, but don't worry, even harvested prematurely they will still be plenty sweet. The flavor is very, very sweet almost like bubble gum.
