HEIRLOOM. Mountain Sweet Yellow Watermelon is aptly named! This very sweet, yellow-fleshed fruit was developed in the Northeast from the well-loved red ‘Mountain Sweet’ watermelon. It gained popularity in the 1840s as a variety that outperformed other watermelons in cooler regions, but don’t count it out if you live in the South! The Mountain Sweet Yellow Watermelon will still produce its largest fruits in long, warm summers. Yellow watermelons are said to be slightly sweeter than the classic reds. Find out for yourself!
The Mountain Sweet Yellow Watermelon grows 20-35 pound oblong fruits on six to ten foot vines. Its flesh is a firm, bright yellow to golden orange color, its rind is striped light and dark green, and its mature seeds are black. You can either direct sow watermelon seeds outside or give them a head start indoors four weeks before your average last frost date, a wise choice if you have a short growing season. Either way, as with most cold-sensitive summer crops, wait until two weeks after your area’s average last frost date to get them outside to be sure that warm weather is here to stay. Where we are in Western NC, this typically means we’re planting watermelon seeds from the second half of May through the end of June. Check out the How to Grow tab for more information! Full sun.

I usually spend a small fortune every spring buying flats of flowers, but decided to test out my green thumb during quarantine. The seeds I planted in April are almost all in full bloom and my flower beds are a beautiful rainbow of happy flowers! I love seeing the new flowers every day and the bees are happy too. I only used a fraction of the seeds in the order and have plenty for next year and probably the year after! Definitely worth every penny!

I eat at least one salad each day, and these are a great topping. The package size is just right – I’ll use one in about 3-4 days, so they stay fresh. OK, I’ll admit some of them never make it to the salad – they’re great to snack on.
