#greennutmeg

Green Nutmeg Melon dates back at least to the beginning of the 1800s when it was mentioned in Bernard McMahon’s “The American Gardener’s Calendar” (1806). This aromatic, green cantaloupe with a nutmeg shape and netted skin is a delicious, and tried-and-true heirloom variety. This one is a bit over-ripe for eating, which means the seeds are riper for seed saving. I'll eat it anyways! #cucumismelo #greennutmeg #greennutmegmelon #cantaloupe #greencantaloupe #sweetmelon #nutmegmelon #heirloommelon (at S. W. P)

I put them in a bit early and they took a while to recover from a late frost, but I'm happy to see we are on track to eating some fruit. I'm hiding in the air conditioning over lunch, but about to go finish the rabbit fence so they'll stop eating the vining tips of these plants! #cucumismelo #greennutmeg #greennutmegmelon #cantaloupe #greencantaloupe #sweetmelon #nutmegmelon #heirloommelon (at Delaware County, Pennsylvania)
