Looking for seeds for Moons and Stars Watermelons. These watermelons are about the size of a basketball, dark green in color and have large and small off-white spots.

Rick,

I can send you some for a SASBE. They don't quite get as big as a basketball, and the spots are bright yellow. These do real well entered in local fairs since not many folks grow them, and are pretty tasty to boot! E-mail me if you want the seeds.

rick 2years ago i started planting moon and stars watermelons i had 1 60lbs and 2 in the 50lb range and 3 around 20 lbs on the same vine in 2001 my biggest was 35 lbs they look cool and are one of the sweetest melons i've ever grown i wrote the seed company i got the seeds from because the leaves also have yellow spots on them i thought i had sick plants felt a little dumb but never grew them before and the package said nothing about spots on the leaves randy

Those are some pretty cool watermelons. I never knew that the leaves could have yellow spots.

the melons blend right in with the vines until they get the size of cantalopes then they are taller than the leaves another melon i've had good luck with is a yellow meated mellon from weeks seed co called tendersweet they are shaped and look pretty much like supermarket melons (charlston grays)
