Notes

'Sarah's Choice' melon (Cucumis melo 'Sarah's Choice') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, 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. The vines climb, so a trellis can help. Bees and butterflies visit the summer blooms, and fruit is ready in 76 days.

Pairs well with Pruden's Purple tomato, Pesto Perpetuo basil, and Wasabi Radish.
