Muskmelon - Ha Ogen
The Melon Ha Ogen, 'Cucumis melo', has an intoxicating aroma. The Ha Ogen melon will produce 10 or more small, very sweet fruits per plant. This pale green fruit has a loyal following. Once you try it, you will be hooked too. This open pollinated melon is popular for three good reasons; the softball size melons mature early and are numerous, the sweet pale green flesh is very delicious treat, and the intoxicating aroma is beyond belief. Ha Ogen melons should be planted in the spring, 1 to 2 weeks after the last frost when soil temperatures are warm. The soil should be light and well drained. Melons use a lot of water but they should not ever be soggy wet. ... more information
Corn - Honey & Cream The Corn Honey & Cream, 'Zea mays var rugosa', is excellent for small gardens and short growing seasons. If we had to choose two vegetables that were much better home grown than bought from a store, corn and tomatoes would be our choice. The plant has 6 to 7 inch ears with 10 to 12 rows of very tender kernels. Plant in the spring, a week or two after the last spring frost or when the soil is warm. In the deep south, this can be as early as February. Corn is usually ready 3 weeks after silks appear. |
