San Juan, Melon Seed

5 Seed packet
 
Early Maturing, 75 days
 
San Juan is an early maturing Ananas type melon with a good set of 2-2.5kg (4.5-5.5lb) fruit. Pale creamy yellow flesh is aromatic and very sweet. The netted exterior turns golden yellow at maturity when fruit slips from the vine. Intermediate Resistance to Powdery Mildew and Fusarium Wilt.
 
On Hotchkiss Flower Farm, we like to plant melon starts into the tulip rows after tulips have finished blooming. We have great success growing all melons this way!
