This variety, often popularly known as “honeydew melon”, has a particularly long shelf life.

Yellow, oval-shaped fruits with a slightly structured skin, weighing approx. 1.5 to 3 kg.

The creamy white flesh is sweet.

Well-ripened but not overripe fruits can be stored in a cool place for a few weeks, which gave this variety the nickname winter melon.

In the field you can give this fruit a few more days to be sure that it is ripe.

Melons grow moderately and require around 1-2 square meters per plant.

Melons enjoy a mulching film.

In a nice and warm summer, the pulp contains more sugar than in a cold summer.

The seeds are sown indoors from the beginning of April at 24-28 ° C directly with 1-2 seeds in the small pot (do not keep the pots too moist) or from mid-May outdoors in a warm location. The harvest takes place in warm locations from mid-July.

Possible pests: lice, mice, powdery mildew.
