90 days to harvest Cucumis melo

Dear Friends. This melon. Is utterly luscious.

We had heard about Sharlyn Melon for years and indeed, she’s an early melon for short seasons, undaunted by cool nights, that ripens to a white flesh that melts in your mouth with an exquisite pineapple sweetness. But here’s the thing: A week before her flesh is white she’s tinged tangerine in the center and lime on margin with a bright, tropical honeydew flavor, firm yet tender and delightfully juicy. What does this mean? The optimal window to harvest this melon is over one week! This is almost unheard of; we were deliciously sticky for all of August and well into September. As soon as her green netted rind begins to blush gold, she is ripe and dreamily delectable.

    Looking forward to mature Sharlyns. Can’t believe how quick these seeds sprouted! Two days!! Yes, two days. Now after nine days in my potting soil cells, they’re forming their second true leaves. Thank you for top quality seeds Fruition.
