Hard to determine ripped melons. Super disappointed when we picked our first and it was not ripe. But when we got a ripe one, it was all worth it. Amazing taste all the way to the rind.

This is a fun little melon. Sweet crisp yellow flesh and a thin rind. A bit of a challenge to determine ripeness as there is no yellow ‘ground spot’- the whole melon rind is yellow. After trial and error, we look for the dried tendril near the first set of leaves, and the yellow melon started to develop green areas as you can see in the photo. The leaves also have some yellow pigment which resembles foliage disease, but is normal for this variety. Zone 6a
