Moon and Stars Yellow Flesh Watermelon

We grew these up in North Idaho the last couple of years without a hitch. Wonderful yellow flesh watermelon. One year we had them growing out on the ground- field style. Last year we had them planted up along our 6 ft chainlink fence and they climbed very well. Added logs for them to climb "down" as well. These plants wanted to spread out and grow more and more melons for us! We supported the melons with nylons and thin scarves. We grew these and sugar babies, and they both did great. Started in a mini shelf style zipper greenhouse- placed outside when warm enough for them. Added goat manure around plants throughout season. Had several melons per plant.

Yellow Fleshed Moon And Stars is one of the best tasting watermelons that I have grown and by far the most beautiful. They have more Moons and Stars on them, than the red fleshed version. I grew one plant last year and picked the watermelons too early.I waited until the tendrils closest to the melons were dry but I had harvested them too soon. This year I planted 2 YM&S and waited about 10 days after then tendrils were dry to pick them, they were perfectly ripe. DTM was 90 days from the time I put my seedlings in the ground (I started them under grow lights in the house about 4 weeks before I put them outside). They have a slightly different flavor than many of the other watermelons I have grown but in a good way, a bit more complex than your average watermelon. As far as sweetness, they are very sweet. I will definitely be growing it again next year!

First yellow flesh melon I've ever had. Sweet and delicious. Grown in northwest Florida, zone 8. No problems. Leafs covered in yellow spots. Made it easy to identify in the garden :) Will grow again next year.

Super sweet! This was the first non-red watermelon I had ever eaten, and the first watermelon I had ever grown. I was not disappointed. Grew fairly well here in the 100 degree heat.

Wanted to try something different. Yellow spots, yellow melon, and very dark green skin. It was all of that. Even the leaves had yellow spots on them. It was enjoyable to watch grow. The best part was having my 11 year old grandson and his friend pick the melon and both carrying it into the house, splitting it open and discovering it was yellow inside. The next day I shared some at my office and ALL were surprised at how sweet it tasted. The melon will be in my garden again next year.
