Fruits are large with smooth yellow skins and deep ribbing. Melons can weigh up to 10 pounds (4.5kg) each. It is a traditional and increasingly rare landrace that is probably in danger of extinction. Should be easy to grow as any melon but will likely do best in warm drier areas and with less water than other varieties. Fruits tend to be sweeter when they are grown \"drier\".

The flesh looks like that of a pear but is softer. When ripe, the rind has a slightly waxy feel. The name comes from its bright yellow color, which resembles that of the canary. This melon is often marketed as the Juan Canary melon and can be found in various sizes and shapes. This melon is only common in parts of Asia, e.g., Japan and South Korea, and Morocco.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eDescription\/Taste\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Canary melon is oval-shaped, with a smooth skin. When the melon is ripe, its hard rind turns bright yellow, it develops a corrugated look and a slightly waxy feel and its flesh will be pale ivory in color. The texture of the flesh is notably succulent, almost wet and semi firm, similar to a ripe pear. Within the flesh, the fruit bears a dry salmon-orange seed cavity. The melon possesses flavors both tangy and mildly sweet. Its aromatics linger with nuances of banana and pineapple and a slightly musky finish. Ideal weight for best flavor are melons weighing 4 to 5 pounds. Only choose Canary melons which are bright yellow (no green coloring on the skin) as these signal that they are mature and ready to eat. Melons harvested before maturity are considered to be of inferior quality as they will never reach the same level of true ripeness off the vine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSeasons\/Availability\u003cbr\u003e\nCanary melons are available from spring time until fall with a peak season in summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCurrent Facts\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Canary melon is a member of the Cucurbitaceae family and of the species Cucumis melo, cultivator inodorus. Melons such as the Canary in the Cucumis melo inodorus group are a variety of muskmelon that are known for their smooth skin and uniquely musk free, neutral aroma. Additionally melons in this grouping do not slip from the vine when ripe like other melons in the muskmelon group are known to do. Also known as Spanish melon, Juan Canary, Jaune des Canaries and Amarillo, the single greatest advantage Canary melons and others in the Cucumis melo inodorus group have over summer melon varieties is that they have a long post-vine shelf-life, allowing them to be stored longer and to be shipped to markets thousands of miles away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNutritional Value\u003cbr\u003e\nCanary melons are a good supply of vitamins A and C. They are also an excellent source of fiber which has been linked to lower rates of heart disease, diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApplications\u003cbr\u003e\nCanary melon pairs well with citrus, ginger, honey and other more flavorful melons. Use Canary melon in fresh preparations such as cold soups and salads. The mellow sweetness and slight tart flavors are enhanced with herbs such as basil, mint, cilantro as well as hot chiles and nuts. You can also process the melon for granitas, sorbets and popsicles, though the addition of sugar may be required to enhance its flavor. To store, keep uncut melons at room temperature until fully ripe then refrigerate up to five days. Refrigerate cut melon in a covered container for up to three days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGeography\/History\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Canary melon's given name refers to the melon's color, not the Canary Islands, though it is clearly documented that the melons were in fact, cultivated there, as the island's fertile soil and dry arid climate contribute to perfect growing conditions. Its origins though are considered to be of Persian descent. The Canary melon is not the most recognized commercial melon variety, as it has many growing deficiencies. It is susceptible to mildew, sunburn and is inherently not disease resistant, often yielding crops of damaged fruit. Similar to other winter melons, its growing season is during the summer months preferably in warm arid climates. In the United States, Canary melons are grown primarily throughout the highly productive and diverse agricultural region of San Joaquin valley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRecently Shared\u003cbr\u003e\nPeople have shared Canary Melon using the Specialty Produce app for iPhone and Android.\u003cbr\u003e\nProduce Sharing allows you to share your produce discoveries with your neighbors and the world!

Another method is to check the underside of the melon where it rests on the ground; the skin should be a rich yellow.

Weeds compete with plants for water, space and nutrients, so control them by either cultivating often or use a mulch to prevent their seeds from germinating.\u003cbr\u003e Melons have a shallow root system, mulches help retain soil moisture and maintain even soil temperatures.\u003cbr\u003e Keep plants well-watered during the growing season, especially during dry spells. Plants need about 1-2 inches of rain per week during the growing season. Use a rain gauge to check to see if you need to add water.

Bred by Mr. Porter of California in the early 1900s.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhen to plant:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you live in a climate with a short growing season, consider starting your watermelon seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before transplanting seedlings into the garden. Sow watermelon seed directly, or set out your transplants 3 to 4 weeks after the last average frost date in spring. Watermelon demands warm temperatures – both soil and air. Transplant or direct sow watermelon seeds only when the average soil and daytime air temps are at least 70F. Watermelons are heavy feeders and need soil rich in nutrients. They grow best in loose, well-drained, but moisture-retentive soil rich in organic matter. Amend your soil with aged manure, seaweed, and\/or compost before planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow to plant:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDig a hole 12” deep and 24” wide, fill with compost, manure and several handfuls of sand – this will create an area that is both moisture retentive and well-draining. Use the soil that was removed from the hole to create the mound and then sow your seed or transplant there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSow Watermelon seeds 1” deep, planting 4-6 seeds (or transplanting 2-3 of your strongest seedlings) in mounds that stretch 24” across. Planting on hills or mounds ensures that roots stay warm and the soil is well-drained. If direct sowing, wait until your young seedlings have developed three to four true leaves and choose to keep your strongest 2-3 plants by cutting the thinned out seedlings at soil level with scissors. If you pull out your weakest seedlings, you may disturb the tender roots of your remaining plants, so use of scissors or clippers is advised. Build mounds 5-10 feet apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe advise using a nitrogen fertilizer on your watermelon plants until flowers form. Then, switch to a high phosphorus and potassium fertilizer like liquid seaweed. Keep area well weeded, we don’t want our watermelons fighting for nutrients and water. Because this is a warm-season crop, it is helpful to mulch around the base – this will help with weed control and moisture retention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWatermelons are 95% water and require plentiful, even watering for quick growing. Keep the soil moist until fruit reaches full size then stop watering while the fruit ripens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen to harvest:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStop watering your watermelons about 10-14 days before the fruits are ready to harvest, this will concentrate the plant’s sugars and your watermelon will be sweeter. You may want to place a board under each melon to keep the fruit clean and dry. Watermelons will be ready to harvest after 70-90 days from sowing. Most people tap their watermelons and listen for a dull thump to know when the fruit is ripe. Other maturation signs include the ceasing of growth, the yellowing of the underside and the drying of the stem near the fruit’s base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \n\n\u003cp\u003eOther tips (if any): Companion plants are corn, radish, beans, nasturtiums, marigolds and oregano. Bad companions are potatoes as they attract many of the same insects that feed on watermelon plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid growing watermelon where night temperatures dip below 50 F; this will cause fruit to lose flavor. If temperatures exceed 90F for several days, flowers will drop without setting fruit. Watermelons require 70-90 frost-free days to reach harvest and will tolerate no frost. In cool or short-season regions, plan ahead by starting indoors or choose smaller varieties that come to harvest early.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWatermelon leaves commonly wilt in the afternoon sun, this is ok. If you see the leaves wilting before noon, immediately water as it is a sign of stress due to the heat and drought. Never allow the vine itself to become dry. A soaker hose or drip irrigation is the best way to water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you live in an area where the weather and soil are dry, try planting your watermelon in inverted hills rather than mounds. Make an inverted hill by removing two inches of soil from a circle 24” across, and use this soil to make a rim around the circle. This way, irrigation water or rainfall can be captured. We know lots of gardeners in Zones 9 and above use this technique for their watermelon, squash, beans, and many other summer vegetables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRegular, even watering will help fruits avoid blossom-end rot which is caused by fluctuation of soil moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eName:\tKlondike Blue Ribbon Striped Watermelon\u003cbr\u003e\nBotanical Name:\tCitrullus lanatus \"Klondike Blue Ribbon Striped\"\u003cbr\u003e\nType:\tHeirloom\u003cbr\u003e\nSize at Maturity:\t25 - 30 Pounds\u003cbr\u003e\nDays to Maturity:\t90 Days\u003cbr\u003e\nLight Requirement:\tFull Sun\u003cbr\u003e\nPlanting Time:\tWarm Season\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing Method:\tDirect Sow\u003cbr\u003e\nPlanting Depth:\t1\"\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant Spacing:\t36\"\u003cbr\u003e\nSeeds per Pound:\tNA\u003cbr\u003e\nHardiness Zones:\tAll\u003cbr\u003e\nShips:\tYear-round\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shortcake Farms \"The Seed Vault\"","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51563237278016,"sku":"411956769588_AA6A","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/7335\/3536\/files\/il_fullxfull.2394263772_5au9_9317198f-3fb2-4cab-9f0a-6642e4c93064.jpg?v=1772037059"},{"product_id":"heirloom-organic-green-stripe-cushaw","title":"Heirloom Organic Green Stripe Cushaw","description":"Green Stripe Cushaw also known as the sweet potato pumpkin can grow up to 10-20 pounds and is very heat tolerant.  Comes with 10 seeds","brand":"Shortcake Farms \"The Seed Vault\"","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51563237343552,"sku":"412233516320_340F","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/7335\/3536\/files\/IMG_3931-1.jpg?v=1772037059"},{"product_id":"very-rare-heirloom-organic-giant-show-winner-pumpkin-seeds","title":"VERY RARE Heirloom Organic Giant Show Winner Pumpkin Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eVERY RARE HEIRLOOM ORGANIC Giant Show Winner Pumpkin Seeds (3)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs the name implies, this is the pumpkin to grow if you want to win any contest and it's truly a great addition to any family garden and to peak the interest of young kids as well as an amazing, fun pumpkin that is absolutely sure to get attention!\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eThe giant pumpkins develop in an array of colors, including orange, yellow, grey, blue or green, and can weigh 250-400 pounds.

Black Diamond is a classic oblong watermelon with a black-green rind covering bright red, crisp, flavorful flesh. In the 1950s, Black Diamond was a very popular home garden variety. Fruits have gray-black seeds (perfect for seed spitting contests) and can grow quite large. In Arkansas, where it’s rumored to have been developed, local gardeners recommend this melon for greased watermelon contests: Simply grease the melon, place it into a child’s plastic swimming pool, and get ready for some fun as the kids chase it and try to grab it! \u003cbr\u003e\nDrought-resistant and prolific.If you'd like to grow especially large \"Black Diamond\" fruit, use a technique called culling, in which you choose the fruit you allow to grow and remove extras from each plant. Once you start seeing small, new watermelons appearing on a plant, pick a few healthy-looking specimens and remove some of the others, or, if you're looking for extra-giant melons, leave only one or two per plant. To help ensure your chosen fruits do well and mature successfully, add a layer of sand under each to help rain drain away and keep the melon's surface intact and clean. You could also give your growing fruit protection from scalding sun by pushing metal hoops into the soil around each melon and draping them with burlap.Size Versus Number\u003cbr\u003e\nThe \"Black Diamond\" watermelon cultivar is an old, open-pollinated variety. Also called \"Cannonball\" or \"Florida Giant,\" its fruits are almost round in shape, with a slightly ribbed, dark green rind that's tough and solid, helping protect the fruit from damage. It's a high-yielding variety, dependably producing many fruits, that maximizes fruit production when given ideal growing conditions. If you're interested in extra-big, world class watermelons, you can harvest fruits that weigh up to 50 pounds from a \"Black Diamond\" plant by using methods that lead to fewer but bigger fruits.\u003cbr\u003e\nWater and More Water\u003cbr\u003e\nLike most melons, \"Black Diamond\" watermelon grows best in a spot that gets full sun for most of the day. It also needs fertile soil, but you can increase your soil's fertility by amending it with compost a week or two before planting. Like all watermelons, about 95 percent of a \"Black Diamond\" fruit's weight is water. Because of this, the plant needs regular, deep watering, especially during its first month in the garden, when fruit is beginning to set. Give the plant 1 to 2 inches of water each week, using drip irrigation if possible, as this allows moisture to seep slowly and deeply into the soil.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shortcake Farms \"The Seed Vault\"","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51563243405632,"sku":"411956933428_3469","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/7335\/3536\/files\/il_fullxfull.2414889873_djww_45b5e09a-f07c-4a97-a6c7-bd0608cb7f77.jpg?v=1772037113"},{"product_id":"jack-be-little-pumpkin-seeds","title":"Jack Be Little Pumpkin Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eJack Be Little Pumpkin Seeds 10\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shortcake Farms \"The Seed Vault\"","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51563243995456,"sku":"411956894762_BDA8","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/7335\/3536\/files\/il_fullxfull.2388794289_9iso_7501ffde-49aa-48a9-a64c-6051f2895cb3.jpg?v=1772037113"},{"product_id":"rare-heirloom-organic-honey-rock-musk-melon-seeds","title":"Rare Heirloom Organic Honey Rock Musk Melon Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eRARE Heirloom Organic Honey Rock (MUSKMELON) SEEDS (5)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHoney Rock is a great tasting, early maturing heirloom melon with good yields of quality fruit.

This early heirloom was developed around 1920 by F. W. Richardson near Hicksville, OH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSowing: Melons must not be planted until the soil temperature has warmed to 70-80 degrees F, since they thrive in heat. Start the plants indoors only 2-4 weeks before transplanting, since if the plants grow too large they have difficulty adjusting to the change. Sow several seeds 1\/2\" deep in each peat pot, and keep them at 75 degrees until they germinate. Thin to the strongest plant in each pot by cutting off the others. Gradually accustom the plants to outdoor temperatures by setting them outside during the day, then transplant them to hills 4-6' apart with 2-3 plants to a hill. For companion planting benefits, plant melons near corn but not potatoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGrowing: In cooler climates, melons may benefit from black plastic to warm the soil; mulch also helps to conserve necessary moisture, control weeds, and keep the melons clean. Adequate moisture is particularly crucial as the vines begin to develop. After midsummer, pinch off blossoms and smaller fruits in order to direct the full energy to the larger fruits; the smaller fruits will not have time to ripen before frost, and are no great loss. Honey Rock is known for being fusarium wilt resistant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHarvesting: As the melon ripens, it will turn slightly golden and become very fragrant; the stem should come off easily, and the blossom end should be slightly soft. The melon will keep for several weeks in a cool place. Honey Rock vines are very productive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSeed Saving: When saving seed from melons, keep in mind that they will cross pollinate with other varieties of melon but not with watermelon, cucumbers, or squash. Melon seeds mature when the fruit is ripe; cut open the fruit and put the pulp that contains the seeds into a bowl. Work it with your fingers to separate the seeds from the pulpy fibers. Add enough water so that the pulp and the hollow seeds will float; remove the floating material, and the good seeds will remain at the bottom of the bowl. Rinse them well, then spread them out to dry completely. Store them in a cool, dry place for up to five years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shortcake Farms \"The Seed Vault\"","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51563244454208,"sku":"sku-41250607202478","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/7335\/3536\/files\/il_fullxfull.2394512978_1txm.jpg?v=1772037117"},{"product_id":"organic-heirloom-blacktail-mountain-watermelon-seeds","title":"Organic Heirloom Blacktail Mountain Watermelon Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eOrganic Heirloom Blacktail Mountain Watermelon Seeds\u003cbr\u003e\nBlacktail Mountain Watermelon Seeds (8)\u003cbr\u003e\nThis variety will ripen in the coolest areas, and hands down, one of the best-tasting melons you can grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFull Description\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWatermelon breakthrough!
