Melon – Honey Dew – Sweet Delight
Melon – Honey Dew – Sweet Delight
The Melon HoneyDew Sweet Delight, ‘Cucumis melo-Inodorous Group (Hybrid) has a really wonderful flavor that is sweet and juicy. One of the reasons HoneyDew has not been super popular in this country is the cardboard-like taste you get from the grocery store HoneyDew melons. This vine ripened HoneyDew has an unbelievable sweet, almost winelike flavor. Sweet Delight is a 8 x 7 inch melon weighing in between 7 and 8 pounds. It has a light green flesh and exterior. Melons are an annual warm season plant and they are very sensitive to frost. Melons prefer light well drained soil. Melons are heavy feeders. Fertilize lightly every six weeks after initial sowing. Plant in the spring, 1 to 2 weeks before the last frost or when soil temperatures begin to warm up.
