Botanical Interests Sweet Delight Honeydew Melon
Homegrown honeydews are far superior to grocery store melons. Vine-ripened 'Sweet Delight' has an unbelievably sweet, almost wine-like flavor. Each melon is 7x8 inches weighing between 7 and 8 pounds, with light green flesh and exterior.
Sowing Information:
- Light: Full sun
- When to Start Inside: Recommended for short-season areas. 2 to 4 weeks before transplanting within 2 weeks after your average last frost date. Sow into biodegradable pots that can be directly planted in the ground; roots are sensitive to disturbance.
- When to Sow Outside: RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date, and when the soil temperature is 70°–90°F
- Seed Depth: ¼ inch
- Seed Spacing: 2–3 seeds per mound
- Row Spacing: 4–6 feet apart
- Thinning: Thin to 1 plant per mound
- Days to Germinate: 5–10 days
- Days to Maturity: 70 days
Growing Notes:
- Harvesting: Harvesting at the right time is very important with melons. A ripe melon will have a pleasant, fruity aroma at the blossom end; and a crack will form on the stem right near the point of attachment (this is called the "slip stage"). In a few days, the melon will detach from the vine with little effort and pressure. If it is somewhat difficult to detach the fruit from the vine, the melon is not ready yet. Do not allow to over-ripen.
- Hardiness: Frost-sensitive annual
- Variety Information: 7x8 inches, 7–8 pounds, light green, and very sweet and juicy.
"Just wanted to give a shout-out to both Megan and Cole who planted a new tree for us. It was hot when they were planting but they took time to make sure the placement was perfect. They also were great in explaining the maintenance that will be needed. Very professional and super attitudes…..great employees!"

"Wow. Go here!!!"

"We were really happy with the help & service we got from Wyatt, Braden & Dradon. We had to make two trips when trying to decide what tree were going to buy due to HOA rules/restrictions. Wyatt went over everything that would probably be acceptable and he had Braden work with us to show us around. Braden was super helpful, very friendly and he made us laugh even when we felt frustrated with the restrictions of HOA! Dradon planted the tree for us. He is really nice and went the extra mile to walk me through how to maintain the tree and help it thrive! I would highly recommend Bath Garden Center & Nursery because they really try to help their customers, spend time explaining what is best for you and walking you through how to maintain it appropriately!! I would give all three of them 10 stars if it was possible!!! Thank you so much for your help!!!!"
