Moon Star Watermelon
Does anyone know how large these should grow before being harvested. I have one that is about the size of a bowling ball right now. Thanks. :) |

Thank you both for the info. :) I'll keep an eye out on them and perhaps check them with a scale. hehe :)
"H Hornblower" wrote in message ... I had one go fifty-four pounds last year. All the others were big too. They were beauties but not as tasty as a crimson sweet or seedless. When the little tendrils close to where the stem attaches to the melon dries up they're ripe. I'm talking about "Moon and Stars" a so called Amish heirloom variety. I saw a pack of some seeds in a health food store that were also called "Moon and Stars". The pack said they were ten pound melons, definitely not what I had.

There are several types of "Moon and Stars". I raised one last year that was pink inside when it was ripe. Others I've seen advertised are yellow inside. Mine ripened at about 10 to 18 lbs and tasted great. I planted them again this year.
