An outstanding and super rare all-golden mini melon. Baker Creek had been searching for an all-yellow watermelon for many years. These incredibly small and early-producing melons are just what we’ve been pining after—a rich lemon-yellow color from skin to flesh! Like striking gold, this glorious gilded watermelon was the stuff of dreams and legend. The excitement was palpable as these Asian type, pocket-sized melons began to ripen on vine at the trials. We were thrilled with the vigorous growing habit and productivity; each vine blossomed and provided perfect single-serving fruit of 1 to 2 pounds, with unparalleled, candy-sweet flavor and a crispy texture. The flesh of this thin-skinned little snacking melon is edible all the way down to the rind. It is a perfect home garden or local market melon, as the thin skin is not well suited to long-distance shipping. The vines produce tons of the melons. The vines throw a small percentage of green-skinned fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lemon Drop watermelon grows best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil. Its compact vines make it well suited for smaller gardens and raised beds. Water regularly to maintain consistent moisture and mulch to conserve water and suppress weeds. Limit fruit per plant to encourage size and sweetness in each melon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511649534238,"sku":"WM217","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/watermelon_lemon_drop.jpg?v=1782402417","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.com\/products\/watermelon-lemon-drop","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
