antsinmypants's Plant List: Melons

A note from antsinmypants
Feel free to ask about anything in my list you may be interested in. I'm always looking to trade. Just because something isn't in my want list doesn't necessarily mean I don't want it & just because something I have isn't marked for trade doesn't mean it isn't available for trade. I stay busy so don't always get around to updating.

This is a yellow-fleshed, "icebox" sized watermelon that grows to 5-8 lbs. This variety was bred for northern growers by genius plant breeder Dr. Alan Kapuler of Peace Seeds in Oregon. He bred Early Moonbeam by dehybridizing Yellow Doll Hybrid watermelon, maintaining sweetness and earliness. A good choice for gardeners trying to maximize their space, Early Moonbeam sets fruit on shorter, highly productive vines. Rind is thin, mostly a light green color interspersed with dark green stripes.

DND's All Seeds Swap #9 (2022) - SameOldBrandNew - 2022; 2 pound winter melon, long shelf life, crunchy and sweet, turns golden when ripe. Originated from a woman on a collective farm in Russia.

Unique in its name and growth habit is 'Collective Farm Woman.' This oddly named variety hails from Ukraine and is characterized by its fast ripening and adaptability to grow and mature in cooler climates. The uniform-shaped melons sport a yellow/golden rind with sweet-tasting white flesh. Enjoy eating fresh. Maturity in 80-85 days.
