Gorgeous green watermelons have yellow moons and stars, and terrific, sweet flavor…
85 days. OP. Heirloom from before 1900, thought to be lost, but found by Kent Whealy from Seed Savers exchange being grown by Merle Van Doren in Missouri. On the Slow Foods Ark of Taste, so you know it has to be more than just good! Vigorous vines produce oblong melons up to 40 lbs, but most are in the 15 to 20 lb. range. The melons have a dark green rind with a large yellow “moon” and lots of little yellow “stars.” Even the foliage is speckled. The flesh is red, juicy, and very sweet.
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 in our own potting mix. We use only organic 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.

Despite the fact it looked like the mail carrier drop kicked the box onto my porch, the plants were in good condition, thanks to the excellent packaging. Can't wait to get them in the ground and growing!

Really like how neatly all of the plants were packaged and sent out. I ordered many plants and none came damaged. Leaves look really cool, unique. Excited to try this watermelon variety.
