High Mowing Organic Moon & Stars Watermelon Seeds
The Moon and Stars watermelon is a truly captivating heirloom variety, celebrated for its unique appearance and delicious flavor. The dark green rind is adorned with numerous small, yellow "stars" and larger, more prominent "moon" markings, creating a celestial pattern. The flesh is typically a bright, sweet, and juicy red, although yellow-fleshed variations exist.
Sowing Information:
- Light: Full sun
- When to Start Inside: Start indoors three weeks before last spring frost date. Do not disturb tender roots when transplanting.
- When to Sow Outside: Start outdoors about two weeks after the last spring frost, when soil has completely warmed.
- Seed Depth: Plant seeds ½ inch deep
- Seed Spacing: 12-18 inches

Growing Notes:
- Harvesting: Ripeness is determined by four methods: when the tendril nearest the fruit is dried and brown; when the ground spot has turned from white to yellow; when the blossom end of fruit becomes soft; and the ubiquitous “thump test”— fruit should sound hollow. Cut fruit cleanly from the vine to avoid stem-end rot.
