Moon & Stars Watermelon

100 days. Perhaps one of the most famous heirloom Watermelons ever, Moon and Stars generally grows up to 15 pounds, but can reach up to a gargantuan 40 pounds, with deep, dark green skin and bright yellow spots that vary widely in size. Even the foliage is specked with yellow! The flesh is rosy red and exceptionally sweet. (OP.)

One packet of about 25 seeds

  • Information
  • Nothing speaks the sultry language of summer like the juicy taste of Melons. Direct-sow the seed 4 weeks before the last spring frost date and transplant out when nighttime temperatures are reliably 55°F. Install supportive trellising structure through which to train the vines. As Melons reach maturity, stop watering to prevent splitting. Harvest when the stem disconnects readily from the vine. Fat-free and low-calorie, most Melons are high in Vitamins A and C. For wild raves and acclaim, make Shelburne Farm's Watermelon, Tomato and Feta Salad. Bee friendly. Deer resistant.

    Average seed life: 2 years.
