EarliChamp Cantaloupe

This melon is very similar to the popular Earligold cantaloupe with its slight sutures and heavy netting. The fruit on EarliChamp is larger and heavier, and the plant has an improved array of disease resistance - Powdery Mildew Resistance, Fusarium Wilt Resistance races 0 & 2. Best of all, the thick orange flesh is wonderfully sweet.

Golden Sunrise Watermelon

We had rave reviews for this watermelon. Dark green on the outside and golden yellow on the inside, Golden Sunrise fills your mouth with a sweet rich fruity taste. Its productive vines were the first of all our melons to ripen fruit in the hot, dry summer of 2003. Melons average 2.2kg (5lb).

Jade Star Watermelon

Citrullus lanatus
Jade Star is a distinctive, round, dark green watermelon. The very juicy red flesh has a traditional, delicious taste. The fruit size averages 3-5kg (8-12lb). Seeds are brown and tender enough to crunch. Watermelons generally need warmer days than cantalopes to mature their fruits. However, the effort of growing them is well rewarded with their wonderful flavour.

Minnesota Midget Canteloupe Organic

This cute little CERTIFIED ORGANIC HEIRLOOM melon was developed at the Univiversity of Minnesota in 1948 and is about 10cm (4") across and weigh about a pound each. The vines are not too long so the plant can be grown in a big container in a warm, sunny location. These early sweet melons have thick, golden yellow flesh and, like other cantaloupes, the fruit slips from the vine when ripe.

Moon and Stars Watermelon Organic

CERTIFIED ORGANIC! The unique rind on the Moon and Stars Watermelon really does look like the moon and stars - very dark green, but dotted all over with bright golden spots like the night sky. This delicious, incredibly sweet, heirloom Moon and Stars is a curiosity that bears large melons averaging 11-13kg (25-30 lbs), but some growers have managed melons as big as 23kg (50 lbs)!
