Watermelon "Moon & Stars" Heirloom Seeds
HISTORY: The early history of this unique watermelon is unknown, possibly originally from Russia. Offered in seed catalogs in the 1930's, it was considered then a legendary variety.
HABIT: These round melons are dark green, nearly black, covered with small bright yellow "stars" and usually one larger "moon." The flesh is deep pink and very sweet.
CULTURE: Plant seed outdoors in late spring after ground has warmed and all danger of frost is past, or start indoors 4 to 6 weeks earlier. Traditionally planted in "hills" (a small circular group of 3-5 seeds) seeds can also be planted in rows 5-8 feet apart. Cover seed with 1/2" of fine soil, well pressed down. Germinates in 7-10 days, depending on weather. Matures in 90 days.
