We are thrilled to offer seeds for this old heirloom melon that has been cared for by the people of Sakarya, Turkey, for generations. Named after the fertile Pamukova Valley, this seed graciously grows productive plants with sweet and fragrant fruits that are ready to harvest mid-season.
Our current seed stock was grown by Tom Wahlberg of Decorah, IA. He was one of the former seed house managers of Seed Savers Exchange.
Packet has 20 seeds
Soft texture when fully ripe– not musky, a little hint of banana flavor. Very interesting. Our vine stayed small, but it was a survivor of herbicide drift early in the season.
These did not mature.
