Muskmelon (Cucumis melo 'Creme de la Creme') - Description

Melons do best when grown in clusters (hills). Sow groups of 3 or 4 seeds in groups when soil is thoroughly warm. Creme de la Creme is ready for harvest in 75 days. The skin is orange-yellow and lightly netted. Inside, the fruit is creamy white, enticingly marbled with pale orange. It's deliciously fragrant, very sweet and slightly spicy. The 7-8" melons slip from the vine when ready. Plants yield like mad. Fruits ripen fast, great for northern zones.
