By pairing the best attributes of a galia and a cantaloupe, this melon is in a class by itself. Round 3 lb. fruits have a tight inner cavity with deep orange flesh that is sweet and juicy. Both size and appearance are extremely uniform with a concentrated set. Fruits are best picked when the background color is at the half green stage. This high yielding variety has Intermediate Resistance to Powdery Mildew (Gc: 1 \u0026amp; Px: 1, 2 \u0026amp; 5) and High Resistance to Fusarium Wilt races 0 - 2.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSTARTING SEEDLINGS OUTDOORS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMelons need full sun, rich soil and warm temperatures. Plant only when weather is warm and settled and temperatures stay above 50° (10°C). In rows 4 feet apart, sow groups of 2 to 3 seeds every 2 feet. After germination, thin to the strongest seedling per group, so you end up with one plant every 2 feet. Or make slightly mounded hills, 2 feet in diameter and 5 feet apart, sowing 5 or 6 seeds in each hill. Thin to 3 strongest plants.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTO START EARLY INDOORS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSeveral weeks before last frost date, sow seeds in individual pots of seed starting mix.

Where summers are short or cool, lay down black plastic to retain heat, and plant into holes made in plastic. Where insects are a problem, cover seedlings with floating row covers to exclude them, removing when plants blossom. Keep young vines well watered and fed, tapering off water as fruits ripen up.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHARVEST AND USE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePick when little melons are fully colored, fragrant and “slip” or pull easily from the vines.
