Melon - Honey Dew - Sweet Delight

$1.69

The Melon HoneyDew Sweet Delight, 'Cucumis melo-Inodorous Group (Hybrid)', has a really wonderful flavor that is sweet and juicy. One of the reasons HoneyDew has not been super popular in this country is the cardboard-like taste you get from the grocery store HoneyDew melons. This vine ripened HoneyDew has an unbelievable sweet, almost winelike flavor. Sweet Delight is a 8 x 7 inch melon weighing in between 7 and 8 pounds. It has a light green flesh and exterior. Melons are an annual warm season plant and they are very sensitive to frost. Melons prefer light well drained soil. Melons are heavy feeders. Fertilize lightly every six weeks after initial sowing. Plant in the spring, 1 to 2 weeks before the last frost or when soil temperatures begin to warm up. ... get more information

Pepper - Chile - Scotch Bonnet The Pepper Hot Scotch Bonnet, 'Capsicum chinense', is 10 to 20 ties hotter than a Jalapeno. Once you get over the initial blistering heat, the intense citrus-like flavor will win you over. Words such as hellish, blistering, and incendiary are used to describe the heat. The Red Scotch Bonnet is sweeter and a little less hot than a Habanero. Scotch Bonnet will produce a crop in climates not quite hot enough for Habanero. The question is, "Are you man or woman enough to grow and eat this variety?" Transplant outside in the spring 3 to 4 weeks after last frost date. Note: To get a jump on the season transplant outside, use a walls-of-water or some black plastic to maintain and increase temperatures. Peppers use quite a bit of water but prefer to be watered deeply and not too often. Harvest when 1 inch long or longer.
