organic green climbing melon
$4.75
Cucumis melo, Cucurbitaceae
The green climbing melon, an old French variety, is a small embroidered melon that fits in one hand... But what a concentrate of flavour! Its format is practical for vertical trellising, and therefore for small gardens or greenhouses: there's no need to support the fruit as it rises with netting because of its small diameter and light weight (500-800 g).
La peau des fruits, d’abord vert foncé moucheté de vert pâle, vire à l’orangé à pleine maturité. À vous de décider du stade de mûrissement que vous préférez… Nous aimons cueillir les fruits au stade où le vert commence à virer pour profiter pleinement de leur chair verte sucrée, fondante, juteuse et agréablement parfumée, aux notes de pâte d’amande et de muscade. La récolte débute 90 jours à partir du semis direct.
