Oka, Muskmelon

Heirloom Muskmelon | QTY: 20 Seeds | 75 Days

Oka muskmelons were the super stars of our garden this year!  I only planted two hills in our main garden to give them a trial, starting them indoors 4 weeks before setting the plants out.  And did these gems take off!  Without plastic mulch or a hoop house protecting them, they quickly vined out and set lots of melons.  We ate plenty right in the garden and hauled in a whopping two buckets of them in the late fall.  Remember, this was only two hills!  And WOW was the flavor right up there at the top.  They have luscious orange, melting, sweet flesh.
