Korean Musk Melon, Golden Yellow, Non-gmo, 25 Seeds

Description: You will receive 25 seeds of non-gmo Korean melon to make your vegetable/fruit garden more colorful in the fall. Seeds collected freshly from an organic vegetable garden. Korean melon, from cucumis melo makuwa group, also known as oriental melon or musk melon. It is primarily grown in Korea, China, and Japan. It is also grown now in Hawaii, California, and other regions. Difficult to find fresh in the store, it is much better to grow in your own garden. Unlike other melons, the Korean melons come with thin golden-yellow skin and smooth white troughs. The white inter flesh is crispy, sweet, and flavorful. Both the rind and tiny seeds are edible. The taste is more like that of a pear than a honeydew. Korean melon plants love the sun and will grow best in a region with a big temperature difference between day and night. Try to find a part of your garden where they can get 6 hours of sunshine. Place three to five seeds per hill, about two inches apart and one inch deep. Water the plants carefully. Let the soil become moderately dry before next watering. These plants cannot tolerate frost, cold, and too wet soil. Those living in colder regions can plant the seeds indoors, and then transplant them outdoors when the weather is warm and the temperature of the soil is above 55°F. They grow well in areas where the summers last for 3-4 months. They need around 50-55 warm days to grow. Each plant can produce anywhere from four to eight delicious melons. Since the plants, belonging to cucurbitaceae, tend to crossbreed, please leave sufficient space between two different types or cultivars of melons. To avoid any type of accidental cross-pollination, plant them away from their cousins like cucumbers, squash, and pumpkins. Ripe fruit has bright yellow skin. These oval-shaped melons can be about 300-500g in weight at the time of harvest. Ripe fruits can be easily picked up from the vine. You won’t have to exert pressure on the stem while removing the fruit. You can judge the ripeness of the fruit by its unique aroma too. If you purchase multi-lots of seeds, please request a total as shipment will be combined. Shipment cost is $0.66 per lot and extra $0.10 for any additional lot. Only ship to US continental 48 states.
