Tasty Bites Melon
75 days. This scrumptious, gourmet mini Melon resulted from the cross of an ananas and a Charantais. Each netted fruit weighs only one pound. The juicy flesh is bright orange with a taste that is exceptionally sweet with a tropical twist, very much like a Cantaloupe. Cut it open, scoop the seeds from the small seed cavity, and share one half with a good friend while you enjoy the other. Tasty Bites is highly productive and disease resistant, ripens over a long period and stores well. (F1.)

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.
