Notes
'Amy' melon (Cucumis melo 'Amy') is a vegetable for food gardens and cottage gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy or clay soil. It climbs at a moderate pace, so you can train it up a support. Bees visit its flowers from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Queen Bee tomato, Pesto Perpetuo basil, and Wasabi Radish.
