Melons

Melons reward warm soil and summer patience with fragrant, juicy fruits for fresh eating, breakfast, salads, desserts, and preserving. This collection includes watermelons, cantaloupes, muskmelons, and uncommon heirlooms in many colors and sizes.

Choose varieties that can mature within your frost-free season, provide full sun and room for vines, and keep water steady while fruits develop. Learn each type’s signs of ripeness before harvesting.
