Gourmet Cantaloupe
One of the best tasting and definitely the sweetest melon in our trials this summer. Gourmet is a new 'Sensation' type melon. Our staff have been raving about the light, crisp flavour and aroma. This hybrid should be picked when the skin just begins to go from green to yellow. Matures in 80-85 days from transplanting. Approximately 20 seeds/Pkg.

- Melon Tip
- Melons require a bright, warm growing season of about three months duration. Row covers or black mulch are highly recommended for extending growing season, to ensure maturity and to increase yield. Muskmelons are ripe when fruit pulls off easily or slips from the vine. Watermelons are ripe when the curly tendril that intersects the main stem with the stem on the fruit has completely dried and turned brown and the underside of the melon is yellow.
