FREE: Organic and Heirloom Piel De Sapo Melon

The listing, Organic and Heirloom Piel De Sapo Melon has ended.

These may LOOK ugly, but don't let that fool you! These are amazing! The inside is white and sweet with yummy deliciousness! Grew these for the first time last year, and fell in love with them! Just got the first harvest of seeds dried and ready for packing!

This auction is for 15 Piel De Sapo Melon seeds.

Directions: Can be direct sown in warmer climates after soil temperatures reach 70, plant 3-4 seeds 1/2” deep in hills 3-4’ apart on rows 5-6’ apart. Once established, thin to two strongest plants. For cooler climates we prefer to start in pots in the greenhouse and transplant later when night time temperatures stay above 55 degrees. Start seedlings 3 weeks before last frost. Once seedlings are 4” tall and soil temperatures are 70, plant in rich loose soil.

Keep well watered until fruits are tennis ball sized and then water only if absolutely needed. (We know organic farmers that never water them and grow amazing melons, but a great deal depends on your soil.)

Remember, you must have a healthy population of pollinators like bees to get a good fruit set.

Hope you enjoy this auction! Hoping to have many more Auctions as I work my way through Listia!
