Cucumis melon
*Diverse Population ALERT* Grow this population as is or use for your at home plant breeding project. It’s crop adaptation made simple- select those plants that grow best for you, save seeds, plant them next year, and repeat.
Get ready. We've collected three of our small and delicious short-season melons together in this home garden melon mix so you can grow melons in a small space and still expect a wide variety of shapes, sizes, textures, and sweetness in your fruits. And! Harvest windows range from 60-90 days so they're not all ripe at once.
If you want to use these for a breeding project, simply grow them out, select the best fruit from the best plants, and save the seed for next year. See what you get, select the best, and repeat!
