Unlike the typical ones that perform best in dry climates, this adaptable variety handles a wider range of growing conditions. Smooth, creamy white skin with exceptionally sweet-as-honey, flesh that rates 14-18º on the Brix scale. Fruits are 3-5 lbs, hold well after harvest, and plants offer intermediate Powdery Mildew resistance. Skin turns a warmer yellow when ripe.    \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e10 seeds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(50, 113, 56);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePLANTING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCucumis melo\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-10 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination Temperature: \u003c\/b\u003eOptimum soil temperatures 70-85\u003cb\u003eº\u003c\/b\u003eF\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeed Sowing Depth:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e1\/2\" deep\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSowing Indoors:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-4 weeks before the last frost. Provide 70-85\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eº\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eF\u003c\/span\u003e soil temperature. Sow 2-3 seeds per cell\/pot. \u003cspan\u003eSowing into individual biodegradable peat\/cow pots reduces root \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edamage when transplanting.
