Exceptionally sweet when fully ripe, it has a refreshing flavour and firm texture that makes it excellent eaten chilled, added to fruit salads or paired with savoury ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHoneydew melons belong to an ancient group of smooth-skinned melons with origins in western Asia and North Africa. The familiar Honeydew type became particularly popular in Europe and later North America, prized for its sweetness, storage ability and suitability for transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants prefer a long, warm growing season and perform particularly well in warm, relatively dry climates. The fruits mature more slowly than many rockmelons but reward the wait with excellent keeping and shipping qualities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 25 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: March–September\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: August–January\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: September–December\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: October–December, after frost risk has passed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow approximately 10–15 mm deep directly into warm, fertile, well-drained soil, or raise seedlings in pots for transplanting once conditions are reliably warm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun and space plants approximately 60–100 cm apart, allowing plenty of room for vines to spread.
