Sweet Freckles (Cucumis melo) is a unique and rare pear-shaped melon with skin speckled with spots — as if it had freckles. Sweet aromatic flavor with a smooth, dense texture. Exceedingly vigorous vines. The stem does not slip when ripe — instead, the color changes from green to orange as a ripeness indicator. 80–90 days.
Start indoors 3–4 weeks before last frost. Transplant outdoors after all frost danger has passed into warm soil in full sun. Space plants 3–4 feet apart. Water consistently. Harvest when skin turns from green to orange — stem does not slip.

Seller is pleasant and shipment was swiftly excited to plant and see the outcome ty
Thank you very much! they look great and arrived in good condition!
The seeds arrived around the estimated time of arrival. They were well packaged and looked good. I planted a few 3 days ago and I've already got sprouts.
I hope these flowers will grow in North Dakota! The colors are vibrant and hopefully the bees will like them. I will have to wait until after the Big Thaw in April before I can plant them - can't wait!
