This variety of watermelon was saved from a Polish immigrant who had raised these watermelons for many years. Some watermelons appear like the classic striped icebox melon and others appear with white rinds. Each melon will be delicious though!
These melons have been stewarded by Bryan O’Hara of Tobacco Road Farm. He has been selecting the most delicious, earliest, and largest watermelons from this variety for over 15 years. These seeds were acquired from True Love Seeds.
Planting/Harvesting Notes
- Plant in full sun with well draining soil.
- Water moderately, but be careful as melons are susceptible to cracking once ripe.
- Check frequently for ripeness once the melon reaches about the size of a soccer ball.
- Plant is ready to harvest 75-80 days after planting.
- Seeds can be saved from the melon when cutting a ripe melon open to eat.
