These are the standard heirloom canteloupe variety. To avoid pests and cold nights they are best to start indoors. These melons grow to 15cm (6") in diameter and typically weigh 1.1kg (2.5lbs). They prefer an non-acidic soil and plenty of warm sunshine for the best growing medium. Will sweeten as they become ripe.

Who are we?

Canada's - Heirloom - Non-GMO - Heritage vegetable garden seeds supplier.  Support your secluded seed production across Canada.

What are Heirloom Seeds:

In the past, heirloom seeds were typically handed down to a son or daughter of a farmer who was getting married.  This was considered a wedding gift to help provide for the newly formed family.  Now these heirloom seed varieties are sought after because of their diversity and their widespread growing regions that has helped to keep them isolated from Genetically Engineered Varieties.   The most common reason for seeking out heirloom seeds is to find varieties that are resistant to various molds and crop diseases depending on the region in which you are trying to grow.
