Melon, Piel de Sapo ‘Ricura’ F1 (Cucumis melo)

A terrific new Piel de Sapo melon with good internal qualities, juicy and sweet. The flavour is delicious. A great favourite of Europeans from Barcelona to Birmingham. ‘Ricura’ has a good disease resistance package.

Grow them in two ways:

1. Plant one seed per pot in October in a warm indoor spot. Plant out after the last frost in a spot protected from wind. A plastic tree guard may be used. Harvest in February.

or

2. Plant two seeds directly into the garden in November. Thin to one plant when the first leaves appear. Harvest these in March.
