#Kajari melon

[obsessivevoidkitten]

These are all the things I want to grow and have the seeds for this year, though some things are missing from this list. I still need more soil, most of the produce goes to the senior center so if anyone wants to throw me 3 dollars for a bag of dirt it goes to a good cause, I also save seeds and distribute them to neighbors and some of the people at the senior center. This blog is my only income source as I am an unpaid live-in aide for an elderly woman. No pressure though. Also if anyone just wants to put gardening discussions in my inbox I am totally up for that!

Kajari Melon is sweet melon that is orange, white, and green on the outside and light green on the inside. This Kajari melon seedling reminds me of a pumpkin seedling. Hopefully it grows big enough to produces it’s beautiful fruit.

A bunch of other weird stuff

This is a type of eggplant ...

(↑ Turkish Orange Eggplant)

This is a type of tomato...

(↑ Dark Galaxy Tomato)

Yet another type of ... eggplant

(↑ Striped Togo Eggplant)

And more....

(↑ Thai Round Eggplant)

No doubt this is tomato, but look how black it is!

(↑ Black Sea Man Heirloom Tomato omg the name...)

The eggiest eggplant I've seen...

(↑ Easter Egg dwarf eggplant)

And if you think these are also eggplants... you are wrong.

(↑ Brad's Atomic Grape tomato)

Tiny small eggplants? No these are chillies.

(↑ Black Cobra rare HOT pepper)

I ... I don't know what to say...

(↑ Lilac Bell Pepper)

After so many exposures I had to think twice if it's chilly or tomato...

(↑ Banana Legs Tomato)

This is the proof that Kiwano is a cousin of cucumber I guess?

(↑ West Indian Gherkin Cucumber)

And BTW this is what Kiwano looks like. These are mine (proud face)

Another weird cousin...

(↑ Brown Cucumber)

OMG I want to grow them all !!

(↑ Small Ornamental Gourd Mix)

Guess what this is?

(↑ Rare Purple Coban Tomatillo)

How are you not a squash?

(↑ Rare Kajari Melon)

I know there are Glass Gem corns that are colourful. But such a moldy colour surely isn't evolutionarily helpful (Ah, but as one of the earliest genetically engineered crop, corns don't care).

(↑ Oaxacan Green Dent Ornamental Corn)

This is what I looked for when I first purchased TT seeds. Unfortunately our local providers didn't have this variety...

(↑ Lemon Cucumber)

So I ended up growing these Crystal Apple Cucumbers instead:

Oh, and some weird, invasive butternut variant we found in the garden:

SAKATA'S SWEET MELON (Cucumis melo) Seeds Non-Gmo, Organic, Heirloom B10 A favorite Asian variety of Dr. Amy Goldman, author of Melons for the Passionate Grower. These small 3 to 4 inch round melons are very sweet with a high sugar content. Oriental varieties open a whole new dimension to melons as they are amazingly different. Crisp and crunchy­; they have edible skins. Their small size and light, golden rind make them very attractive. This fine Japanese variety was developed by Sakata’s Seed Co., of Yokohama. This is a must for marketing. They are in high demand by melon lovers and command top prices! Rare and colorful. The Sakatas Sweet is a beautiful and sweet oriental melon that grows no bigger than a softball! With a harvest weight of 10-12 ounces, the gray-green skin ripens yellow-green with a soft green flesh that is highly aromatic. This melon is fun to grow and does well on a trellis. After harvest, Sakatas Sweet can be stored for a few weeks. This variety has been grown in the East for centuries and is now making an appearance in American markets. You can eat both this tasty melon's flesh and skin! HEAVY PRODUCER! Full Sun Days to harvest: 85 Days Sprouts in 7-14 Days Lifecycle: annual (vegetable) Ideal Germination Temperature: 75-85F Seed Depth: 1/2 inch Plant Spacing: 18" Frost Hardy: No Sowing Method: Transplant Plant Scientific Name: Cucumis melo var. reticulatus 100% Non-GMO, Organic, Heirloom, Open Air Pollinated Seeds Growing Tips: Melons prefer slightly sandy, very rich, well-drained soil. Be careful not to over-water vines, especially as fruit is approaching maturity. The melon is one of the two main cultivar types in Cucumis melo Inodorus Group. It is characterized by the smooth rind and lack of musky odor. The other main type in the Inodorus Group is the wrinkle-rind casaba melon Melon has a round to slightly oval shape, It is also the same as Cantaloupe. Typically 15–22 cm (5.9–8.7 in) long. It generally ranges in weight from 1.8 to 3.6 kg (4.0 to 7.9 lb). The flesh is usually pale green in color, while the smooth peel ranges from greenish to yellow. Like most fruit, honeydew has seeds. The inner flesh is eaten, often for dessert, and honeydew is commonly found in supermarkets across the world alongside cantaloupe melons and watermelons. In California, melon is in season from August until October How to Grow Melons Melons provide a sweet and colorful addition to summer meals, and they can be grown in the home garden. In addition to the typical cantaloupe and honeydew melons, gardeners can grow other varieties such as banana melons. Before Planting: A light, well-drained soil with a pH of 7.0 and a southern exposure is ideal. Good soil moisture is important in early stages of growth and during pollination when fruits are setting. Planting: For direct seeding, sow 1-2 weeks after last frost when soil is warm, above 70°F, 3 seeds every 18″, 1/2″ deep, thinning to 1 plant/spot. Space rows 6′ apart. For transplanting, sow indoors in 3 weeks before last frost and transplanting outside. Plant 2-3 seeds per or pot, about 1/4″ deep. Keep temperature 80-90°F until germination. Handle young plants carefully and never let the soil dry out. Grow seedlings at 75°F. Reduce water and temperature for a week to harden seedlings. When the weather is frost-free, warm, and settled, transplant 2-3′ apart in rows 6′ apart or thin to 1 plant/pot or cell with scissors and transplant 18″ apart. Even hardened melon seedlings are tender. Do not disturb roots when transplanting, and water thoroughly. Watering: Melons need a steady supply of water, and soil needs to be damped but not flooded, approximately 1 inch a week. Fertilizer: Prior to planting, mix aged manure and compost into the soil. Melons are heavy feeders, so fertilize at planting and throughout the growing season with a 5-5-5 or 10-10-10 granular fertilizer. Do not let the granules come in contact with the plant. Days to Maturity: A ripe melon should be very easy to remove from the vine. For a cantaloupe, the netting pattern on the melon becomes more visible and a crack appears at the base of the stem when it was ripe. For a honeydew, the color becomes creamy. Most melon varieties are ready for harvest when the gray-green color begins to change to pale yellow and when a light tug separates the fruit from the vine. Some melon types, like honeydew, Charentais, canary, Spanish, and Crenshaw are overripe by the time the stem can be tugged from the fruit. (See each variety for days to maturity) Harvesting: Melons must be cut from the vine. All melons should be stored at 90% relative humidity. Store ripe melons at 40-45°F for 7-14 days. Tips: Cut off watering 1 week before harvest. This will give a more flavorful, concentrated melon. Over watering before harvest can cause bland taste. Melon can be enjoyed by itself or added to many different dishes, including salad, salsa, soup or dessert. The key is choosing a ripe melon while it’s in season. Honeydew melon can be added to a wide variety of dishes, including: Salads: Slice some honeydew into bite-sized pieces and add it to your favorite salad. Desserts: Puree the melon and use it as a base for popsicles or ice cream. Breakfast: Serve sliced melon alongside cottage cheese or blend it into a smoothie. Soups: Serve honeydew as the base of a chilled soup with peppers, mint and cucumber. Appetizers: Wrap slices of melon with cured meats or add it to a spicy salsa. Honeydew is full of vitamins, minerals and other health-promoting plant compounds. Eating this type of melon could have several health benefits, mainly due to its rich nutrient content. 10 Surprising Benefits of Melon 1. Rich in Nutrients 2. May Help Reduce Blood Pressure 3. Contains Nutrients Vital to Bone Health 4. May Improve Blood Sugar Control 5. Rich in Electrolytes and Water 6. May Support Healthy Skin 7. May Boost Your Immune System 8.

My first kajari melon. I am so thrilled that I successfully grew a melon and not only that...she's beautiful. :') I had kept my eye on this for several days as they are slip melons and I knew once it hit the ground it was only a matter of time before my local bunnies found it. The smell was so sweet that every time I walked by it on my kitchen counter I could smell it.

We ate the entire thing standing up it was so delicious. Like a mix between cantaloupe, honey dew, and pear.

These will definitely be a staple in my garden from now on and I can't wait for my daughter to be able to enjoy them with us next summer. They grow beautifully on my jenky arched trellis and I have a total of about 15 melons ripening from two plants.

Garden update:

My radishes are growing fast! These are from Kitazawa Seed Company , this is my first time planting these and I’m excited! I could actually eat these sprouts now but I won’t. I really want to see how these turn out. Other seeds I bought from them is red shiso, which I have yet to plant. Last year that grew well for me, enough that I still have a lot of it dried and powdered in my pantry.

---------------------------

My horned melon vines. They start off slow but once the heat ramps up, they spread like wildfire. I let them sprawl way too much last year, they took over the entire plant shelf and even my clothesline! This year I’m more prepared to tackle them with a trellis and to keep pruning them. Not only does it keep the vines from taking over, but pestering them actually improves fruit production.

-------------------------

My bro’s melon experiment is looking very promising! The winner for sprouting first are the casaba melons from Turkey! The leaves are very fragrant, smelling almost like a sweet cucumber. The kajari and charentais have yet to show any activity. We’ll wait and see.

--------------------------------

My ‘ugly’ tomatoes have finally gotten big enough to transplant into their own individual containers, here’s one of four. I’m sure they’re happy having so much room. I can’t wait for the new batch this year. This is my 3rd year growing them. 

-----------------------

I spoiled my grapevines this spring with some extra TLC and fertilizer, the result are massive amounts of Sultana clusters. These seem to be bigger than last year! The second vine (not pictured) is massive but has only just been pollinated, Pinot noir grapes take more time than green grapes. That particular vine was purchased in Sonoma. I owe a lot to my grandfather for teaching me how to care for grapes, his family owned vineyards in both Egypt and Southern NM for three generations, selling wine to La Posta in Mesilla. - The plant twining around the grape is a snap pea, they don’t harm the host plant and die off during mid-summer after they pod. Peas and grapes are excellent companion plants.

-------------------

And of course my fruit trees! From top down: My apricot, pear and pomegranate tree in the background giving out lots of flowers. It get swarmed with bees in the morning, which has prompted me to bring out a bee puddler. Not pictured are the apple and peach, their fruits are still very tiny.

---

Not pictured but I’ll update when they sprout are:  Cherry tomatoes, black beans, bell peppers, zucchini, yellow and green summer squash, nasturtium, anise,  patty pan squash, mini pumpkins, watermelon, cantaloupe, purple potato (ube), mini lettuce, blue corn, henna and indigo. 

Wild plants I’m keeping an eye out for: Prickly pear, greenthread, wild strawberry, lamb's quarters, amaranth, honey mesquite, wild asparagus, cattails, purslane and dandelion.

Things I want to plant soon: Cucumbers, cilantro, mint, red leaf lettuce

[obsessivevoidkitten]

I grew some kajari melons and tigger melons.

[houseinvictus]

Friday 7 June

Sunflowers are in! Each mini-bed got three (double) Black Mammoth sunflower transplants and a few Autumn Beauty seeds.

Cucamelons are reseeded, even though apparently two of my three plants survived. More cucamelons! I should reseed the kajari melons later today, too.

Also, look how happy my kale is! Still little, and it’s crowded, but exuberant!
