Watermelon - Moon and Stars - Organic

Citrullus Moon and Stars (USDA Organic) Watermelon, Citrullus lanatus 'Moon and Stars', is a legendary variety rediscovered in rural Missouri. The 3-5 lbs. fruit has sweet red flesh. Moon and Stars watermelon stands out in the garden with its dark green rind speckled with tiny yellow "stars" and an occasional large yellow patch, or "moon" Splashes of the bright yellow on the dark green skin give this melon its name. The vigorous vines produce an abundance of tasty melons, large and small. Moon and Star's reddish pink flesh has outstanding flavor and is sweeter than most Watermelons. Watermelons like well-drained, sandy loam with a pH of 6 to 6.8. They don't want wet feet, and regular, but average, water will do.
