Divergent, Melon Seed

5 Seed packet
 
Early Maturing, 75 days
 
This cantaloupe / Galia melon cross matures early with its fruits close to the crown for more concentrated harvests for fresh market growers and home gardeners. This is great for growers because you can do a complete harvest with just one pass of the field. Harvest them a little bit early and they have a great shelf life. They continue to ripen after harvest. Stagger planting for an extended harvest of sweet, refined fruits. Divergent Organic melon seeds produce vines with excellent disease resistance. The flesh is bright orange, firm, and very sweet, with a small seed cavity and thin rind. The round fruits have light netting on the skin and average 2.5 lbs each.
