Notes
'Divergent' melon (Cucumis melo 'Divergent') is a climbing vegetable for food gardens, containers, and cottage gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy or clay soil. Yellow and green flowers open from early to late summer and draw bees and butterflies. Fruit ripens about 75 days after planting.
Pairs well with Pesto Perpetuo basil, Dukat dill, and Brad's Atomic Grape Tomato tomato.
