The Moon & Stars Watermelon
is a legendary heirloom watermelon, that is thought to have originally
been introduced in 1926 by Peter Henderson & Co. Seeds under the name
of Sun, Moon and Stars Watermelon. Until fairly recently,
this wonderful watermelon variety was believed extinct until it was re-discovered
in Macon, Missouri and later re-introduced to the public in 1987.
The Moon and Stars Watermelon
is a very unusual variety with a dark green rind that is speckled with
bright yellow spots ranging from pin-hole sized to silver dollar sized,
giving the impression of the night sky, the small specks resembling stars
and the larger ones like moons, from which markings this variety takes
its name. The leaves of the vine are a light green color and also speckled
with yellow. The melons are oval in shape and can grow to be quite large,
often reaching up to 40 pounds. Its flesh is pink to a brilliant red and
is very sweet tasting. This is one of the sweetest heirloom watermelons
you can raise in your home garden.
Moon and Stars is quickly
becoming a very popular and much in demand watermelon variety. Read more
