VG01791 TROCADERO HYBRID
Charentais Melon Seeds
77 days
A round, 2 pound, gray, French Charentais melon, (aka French Breakfast Melon), traditionally served with prosciutto. It delivers outstanding flavor and delicious scent. Vines are productive and disease resistant. Unlike most melons, Trocadero is best picked before they slip from the vine - the optimum time is when rind turns to light gray, the leaf closest to the fruit becomes pale, and the blossom end softens.

The 6-8 inch oblong, smooth, cream-colored fruits develop a gold-tan patina when ripe. The flavor of the succulent light green, sugary flesh is superb - and is measured at 13-15% brix, among the sweetest of all honeydews. The vines are vigorous and easily provide foliage cover and protection for the heavy set of fruit. For best size and production, Snow Mass is best adapted to areas with hot or long seasons.How to Plant MELON Seeds
Start seeds indoors in peat pots or cell packs 3-4 weeks before the last spring frost or (if you live in a long season area) direct seed into the garden after all danger of frost is past. Plant in the hottest part of the garden 2-feet apart in rows 6-8 feet apart. Comments: Using black plastic mulch or draping with floating row cover can give melons the heat they need in marginal growing areas. Most melons will slip easily from the vine when ripe. Smelling the blossom end can also provide an important clue - when ripe there will be an appealing fruity fragrance.
