Melon - Honey Dew - Sweet Delight
The Melon HoneyDew Sweet Delight, 'Cucumis melo-Inodorous Group (Hybrid)', has a really wonderful flavor that is sweet and juicy. One of the reasons HoneyDew has not been super popular in this country is the cardboard-like taste you get from the grocery store HoneyDew melons. This vine ripened HoneyDew has an unbelievable sweet, almost winelike flavor. Sweet Delight is a 8 x 7 inch melon weighing in between 7 and 8 pounds. It has a light green flesh and exterior. Melons are an annual warm season plant and they are very sensitive to frost. Melons prefer light well drained soil. Melons are heavy feeders. Fertilize lightly every six weeks after initial sowing. Plant in the spring, 1 to 2 weeks before the last frost or when soil temperatures begin to warm up. ... get more information
Sweet Pea - Perfume Delight The Sweet Pea Perfume Delight, 'Lathyrus odoratus', is a mixture of several colors of very fragrant sweet peas. The fragrance of these flowers will take you to times past. The flowers are slightly smaller, 3/4 to 1 inch flowers, than other annual sweet peas, but they are more heat resistant. They will bloom about 1 week longer than other sweet peas. A key element in successful growing of the Sweet Pea Perfume Delight is very early planting. The sweet pea prefers deep, rich, fertile soil. Use lots of peat or compost for early spring planting. Plant this sweet pea in full sun, but in a cool a spot as possible. Position them away from winds and rotate locations from year to year to prevent sweet pea pests. In cold climates plant the seed in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. In warm climates, plant in October through January for spring bloom.
