[Selected from a Fla. heirloom by Walt Childs, introduced by SESE 1989.] An excellent garden variety watermelon with strawberry-red flesh which ripens to within 1/2” of the rind. The texture is delicate and the sweet flavor is outstanding and distinctive, one the best we offer. The melons are long (8” x 20”), dark green, with darker green stripes. Fruits have fewer seeds and range between 15-25 lbs. Disease resistance is very good. 85 days.
Packet: 1-3 g (20-60 seeds, average 39 seeds).
Good to start from seed in these months:
North Florida: March-April, July-August
Central Florida: January-March, August
South Florida: January-March, August-September

This is a curated collection of seeds I have found to grow well in Florida over the years. It is designed to take the overwhelm and thought process out of figuring out which varieties to select that will actually grow well here.
Some of the seed is saved from myself and other small local growers for harder to source varieties that you can't find online.
The majority of the seed varieties will come from dedicated seed supply companies like Working Food or Southern Exposure Seed Exchange to keep up with demand. We always prioritize localized seed sources which have a sustainable and equitable business model.
