A delightfully flavorful, sweet, and aromatic short-season melon. 80 days from direct-sowing in warm soil. Bred by farmer/breeder David Podoll on his North Dakota farm. The Podolls have been selecting for smooth texture, great flavor, juicy sweetness, deep orange color, and thick flesh since 1980. Can be grown anywhere, but is especially suited to areas with cold nights or short growing seasons. Bred for and by organic farmers, this is an OSSI-pledged open source variety. Our seed grown by the Podolls. 30 seeds
The Open Source Seed Initiative exists so that breeders who originate new varieties can protect them from exploitation and patenting by corporations. It means that the breeder has freely given up her patent rights in order to keep the variety in the public domain forever. The OSSI pledge reads: "You have the freedom to use these OSSI-pledged seeds in any way you choose. In return, you pledge not to restrict others' use of these seeds or their derivatives, by patents or other means, and to include this pledge in any transfer of these seeds or their derivatives."
