Moon & Stars Watermelon

Moon & Stars Watermelon

The Watermelon Moom & Stars, 'Citrullus lanatus', is an old Amish heirloom recently rediscovered in rural Missouri. The yellow dots look like stars scattered among larger moons on a very dark green rind and on the foliage. This genetic defect in the pigmentation makes it the most interesting looking watermelon around and has no effect on the very sweet, red, and absolutely delicious flesh. Watermelon ripens in about 35 days after the flowers are pollinated by bees. Fertilize lightly every 4 to 6 weeks.

Bunching onion varieties such as this one can produce small or no onion bulbs but are milder, juicier, and sweeter tasting scallions than scallions of regular, full size bulbing onions. Scallions can be harvested any time during the growing season before they begin to bulb.

Successive plantings every 2 to 3 weeks will assure a continual fresh supply of foliage. Dill prefers fertile well drained soil with lots of organic matter.

The Cilantro Coriander Cal Long Standing, 'Coriandrum sativum', is one of the most useful and tasty herbs available. Both the foliage (cilantro) and seed (coriander), make this herb very versatile. Cilantro is also called Chinese parsley. Cilantro has a thousand uses from as simple as a sprig in chicken soup to chopped in Mexican food. The seed, Coriander, has a strong citrusy, lemon flavor. Senna tea is made from crushed Coriander. Plant in the spring after the last average frost date.
Straight Eight Cucumber Straight Eight Cucumber
The Cucumber Slicing Straight Eight, 'Cucumis sativus', is a very vigorous and productive open pollinated cucumber that is excellent for salads, slicing, or for making dill pickles. There is nothing more refreshing than a cucumber. This older, open pollinated variety is still around because it is simply a great variety. Cucumbers have a shallow root system and therefore require regular moisture. Do not let cucumbers get too big because the vines stop producing if over mature cucumbers stay on the vine.
Danvers 126 Carrot Danvers 126 Carrot
The Carrot Danvers 126, 'Daucus carota var. sativus', is excellent in heavy soils. In addition to the nice flavor, it is resistant to cracks and splits. The Danvers 126 worked wonderfully when interplanted with onions and worked particularly well in the heavy soils because of it's higher fiber content. The single most important factor in growing carrots is to have a deep, clod and rock free, well drained soil. A 50% peat moss mix with the soil is ideal. Even moisture is essential.

The Carrot Scarlet Nantes, 'Daucus carota var. sativus', is an old standard that has a reputation for sweet flavor and crisp texture. The bright orange-red roots are 6 to 7 inches long. The open pollinated Scarlet Nantes deserves to be and old favorite because of the sweet flavor, crisp texture and an inconspicuous core. The dye from carrots is used to color butter. A 50% peat moss mix with the soil is ideal. Even moisture is essential.
