Piel De Sapo Melon seeds

SKU: PDS331

This Spanish heirloom goes by many names, depending on where you are. Piel de Sapo is Spanish for "skin of the frog," which is how this melon got its name due to its exterior appearance. The skin is a slightly wrinkled green and yellow mottled color. The flesh inside is white to pale yellow, crisp, and subtly sweet, with a flavor that is unique to its own. Each melon can weigh 9 lbs and be as long as 1 foot.  This one will surely be an annual staple in your garden once you've sampled its sweet flesh!
