Melon F1 'Amy' |
Melon F1 'Amy' Vegetable Award Winner
There is a trend for gardeners to grow the most flavorful, exotic vegetables from around
the world. 'Amy' is one of these new improved vegetables and an AAS Winner. 'Amy'
exhibited improved qualities such as earliness and higher yield when grown next to similar
"canary" type melons. 'Amy' melons are eye-catching. They are bright golden
yellow with smooth skin; without netting or sutures. The radiant color indicates when the
melon is ready for harvest. Cutting open the mature melon will release the distinctive
melon aroma. There is a small seed cavity surrounded by moist, white flesh noted for its
sweet flavor and firm texture. 'Amy' plants will produce melons in 70 to 80 days from
transplanting. The vigorous spreading vines need 6 feet of garden space or they can be
trained up a trellis.
