NOTES

not frost hardy; will cross pollinate, so isolate from other varieties of watermelon by 0.5 mile; most reliable sign of ripening is when tendril opposite the fruit’s stem attachment changes from green to brown and becomes dry, or when light colored patch at the bottom darkens a shade; to save, harvest fruits as you would for eating, then remove and rinse seeds in a colander under water and let dry
