Description
The perfect variety for those cool Pacific Northwest summers. The 3-5# melons have bright yellow flesh and lime-green rinds with dark green stripes. Of the several open-pollinated varieties we trialed in 2015, Early Moonbeam was the earliest and sweetest. Bred by Alan Kapular of Peace Seeds, who dehybridized it from Yellow Doll F1.
