Description

The listing, JELLY MELON - African Kiwano, Horned Melon, Cucumber *10 Seeds* has ended.

Bright orange, oval fruit 9", with numerous prominent spines. Flesh is bright green, watery, and slightly sweet. The dense, liquid pulp is a beautiful emerald green, smelling like banana and tasting like a mix of lime and cucumber. It can be eaten raw or, more popularly, made into a juice or used in sorbets. You can cut open the ripe fruit and sprinkle with sugar to enhance the flavor, but I like them as they are. The seeds are also edible. The horned melon is a vining annual that can be grown practically anywhere, provided there is a warm season. It grows much like pumpkins or watermelons. Plants can produce up to 100 fruits on a single vine. The leaves and stems are hairy. Provide support for the tendrils to grab and they will climb. Makes great preserves!

• Originated in semi-arid Africa near the Kalahari desert
• Thorny oval fruits are filled with green-gold gel and lots of seeds; very high in vitamin C
• Sow seeds outdoors after the last frost when soil is warm.
• Space 6-feet apart in all directions.
• Can also be started indoors 2-4 weeks before the last frost for an earlier harvest.
• Jelly melons benefit from consistent moisture.
• 120 Days to maturity

Just a note, these are now $5.47 - $6.00 in our local stores...yes, each! They would sell good at your local farmers market or flea market I would think... as always, we have non-GMO and organic seeds only...
