Notes
'Honey Blonde' melon (Cucumis melo 'Honey Blonde') is a climbing vegetable for food gardens, containers, and cottage gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy or clay soil. Orange and yellow flowers open from early to late summer and attract bees and butterflies. The fruit is ready in 71 days.
Pairs well with Indigo Cherry Drops tomato, Pesto Perpetuo basil, and Cherokee White Eagle Corn.
