70 days. Open pollinated. French heirloom. Amazing flavor and aroma have made this heirloom melon popular for 100 years. Has an exotic, tropical aroma and dense, very sweet flesh. Considered the sweetest melon. Fruits stay at about 2 pounds, so they are perfect for 1 or 2 people. Does not slip, but the heavenly aroma will let you know when they are ripe. When I walk by my melon patch, I know when a Charantais is ripe! Then I just follow my nose. I have been known to crack one open and slurp up the contents right out there in the garden.
We ship every Monday and Tuesday, from late March through late May, to the 48 contiguous states. We schedule your shipment to arrive just after the last frost date for your area. We will send an email from our farm (lazyoxfarm@yahoo.com) within 24 hours of receiving your order informing you of your shipping date. You are welcome to change the shipping date. Just let us know when you want them.
Our plants are sustainably raised. We use only organic soil, fertilizers and sprays if needed. We have been growing and selling plants since 1997.
Our plants are shipped in individual 3″ deep pots. They are ready to be planted out in your garden.
We package our plants with extreme care so they arrive undamaged at your doorstep. Each plant is tucked into its own padded sleeve. The soil in each pot is covered so it will not spill out. A plant tag identifying the variety is included with each plant.
We will start accepting orders for 2020 in early January. We will start shipping in late March, weather permitting. Within 24 hours of receiving your order, we will e-mail you with a shipping date that we choose based on your last frost date. You are welcome to change the date to any other shipping week from late March through May.

Last review for my order. Very pleased with all of the plants that arrived. All look healthy, labeled clearly, were made easy to plant and love that my order came with planting instructions/info for my plants. Enjoy how organized everything was.
For someone who occassionally orders plants online, this store/seller has shipped the healthiest plants I have seen so far. Very impressed. If this seller has what I need, I will probably just stick to ordering it from this seller. Chef's kiss!

My plants arrived very well packaged. They looked wonderful! Only one plant looked like it need some water and I watered it. The next day it was just as robust as all the others. I will be ordering every year as long I can. I am very happy with my purchase.

I was originally skeptical about buying plants online and having them delivered, because I wasn't sure how well they would fair being shipping. However I was very pleasantly surprised! These plants were shipped all the way to Florida, but they arrived happy and healthy! Packaging was excellent and the plants were very secure. Very pleased and can't wait to get started on my new vegetable garden!
