The Valencia Melon is also known as the winter melon because you can pick it in the fall and bring it inside; by January, you can have a fresh melon. This Heirloom melon dates back to the early 1800s and originally comes from the Spain area. The outer rind is a darker green and the flesh is a lighter green. Sort of an oval shape, you will average a 3 to 4 pounder. This is a good melon choice for the northern tier of the country because you can ripen indoors. Happy growing!!!
Plant early plant often
The Valencia Melon is evocative, to say the least, but that's why you're drawn to it in the first place.
