Muskmelon - Ha Ogen

The Melon Ha Ogen, 'Cucumis melo', has an intoxicating aroma. The Ha Ogen melon will produce 10 or more small, very sweet fruits per plant. This pale green fruit has a loyal following. Once you try it, you will be hooked too. This open pollinated melon is popular for three good reasons; the softball size melons mature early and are numerous, the sweet pale green flesh is very delicious treat, and the intoxicating aroma is beyond belief. Ha Ogen melons should be planted in the spring, 1 to 2 weeks after the last frost when soil temperatures are warm. The soil should be light and well drained. Melons use a lot of water but they should not ever be soggy wet. ... get more information
