2004 AAS Edible – Vegetable Winner

There is a trend for gardeners to grow the most flavorful, exotic vegetables from around the world. Amy is one of these new improved vegetables and an AAS Winner. Amy exhibited improved qualities such as earliness and higher yield when grown next to similar “canary” type melons. Amy melons are eye-catching. They are bright golden yellow with smooth skin; without netting or sutures. The radiant color indicates when the melon is ready for harvest. Cutting open the mature melon will release the distinctive melon aroma. There is a small seed cavity surrounded by moist, white flesh noted for its sweet flavor and firm texture. Amy plants will produce melons in 70 to 80 days from transplanting. The vigorous spreading vines need 6 feet of garden space or they can be trained up a trellis.
