Main Season Week 12

Here is the start  of you box.  On our farm walk last night we ate our first watermelon.  Sadly it is a variety that has been discontinued and we only had a few seeds of it.  It has been a favorite of ours for the past five years.  It is a perfect size and really early.  Johnny's Seeds who we buy it from replaced it with another great melon called mini love that we trialed last year.  It is about a week later and while they call it an improvement I wish we could grow both of them.  They really compliment each other.  Our other early melon is called Sun Jewel.  It is a Korean style melon that has also been discontinued.  There are lots of other Korean melons out there but I can't imagine one as dependable as Sun Jewel.  Fortunately we had a lot of seed and get it for an extra year.  We are going to pick that variety today and see if it can go to some of you, all of you or if the melon party is going to have to start next week.  I will update/finish the list tomorrow morning.  

Have a great week.
