MELBA MELON
Formats
The Melba Melon is a variety of early ripening melon that is very juicy, tasty and aromatic. It has a tender flesh, delicious and sweet. Very productive with round fruits of about 1.5-1.7kg. Greenish skin with white streaks.
It contains minerals, vitamins and a low amount of calories since 80% of the fruit is water.
Sow from February to May first in seedbeds 3-4cm deep. It is ready for harvest from July to September. We know it's ripe, because it has a scar on one end.
