Sarah’s Choice Cantaloupe
76 Days Planting Notes: Planted in late-May and June for harvests in August Produces 2-4 melons per plant “Sarah's Choice's sweet and juicy flesh has consistently been a winner in our trials. Its flavor, combined with its attractive oval fruits and ideal 3-lb. size, make it the best variety for retail sales.” |
Mini Love Watermelon
70 Days Planting Notes: Planted in late-May for harvests in August Expect Yields of 2-4 melons per plant “Personal-sized, early, and delicious Sweet and firm, oval-round fruits avg. 3–5 lb. Distinctive, bright green rind with dark green stripes and dense, bright red flesh. Very productive. Compared to Little Baby Flower, which it replaces, Mini Love has fewer and smaller seeds, brighter flesh, a thicker rind, and better field-holding ability.” |
