The Honey Dew Orange Flesh Melon, a member of the Cucurbitaceae family, is a unique variety of honeydew with a distinctive orange flesh. Its flavor is sweet and slightly floral; the texture is smooth and juicy, making it a refreshing fruit choice for hot summer days. This melon is often used in fruit salads, desserts, and smoothies due to its delightful taste and vibrant color.

Growing conditions for the Honey Dew Orange Flesh Melon require a warm climate with full sun exposure; well-drained, fertile soil is essential for optimal growth. Plant the seeds after the last frost, ensuring the soil temperature is at least 70°F; spacing should be about 18-24 inches apart to allow for adequate airflow and growth. Regular watering is crucial, particularly during dry spells; however, avoid waterlogging the soil to prevent root rot.

Harvesting the Honey Dew Orange Flesh Melon is relatively straightforward; the melon is ripe when it emits a sweet fragrance and the skin has a slightly waxy feel. Gently twist the fruit from the vine to avoid damaging the plant. Store the harvested melons in a cool, dry place; refrigeration can extend their freshness. This melon is a nutritious addition to your diet, rich in vitamins and provides a good source of hydration due to its high water content.

How to Save Seeds

Melons will not cross with cucumbers or squash but will cross with other types of melons not to be confused with watermelons however. Muskmelons don't cross with watermelons they are from separate families. They need an isolation of at least ¼ of a mile from other melons. Once you are sure they are ripe cut them from the vine and allow to cure for a few days. Once cured cut open scoop out seeds and follow process found under cucumbers for seed saving. You can eat the flesh at this point seeds are normally ready when melon is ripe.
