83 Days to maturity. Cucumis melo. Collective Farm Woman Melon Seeds. A non-GMO, annual, open-pollinated, heirloom, heat-tolerant specialty Melon. Suitable for growing in containers, garden plots, raised beds, and greenhouses. This amazing melon comes from Ukraine, where fast-ripening melons are important in cool conditions. A Seed Savers Exchange member first offered this melon in 1993 after a trip to the Island of Krim in the Black Sea. Collective Farm Woman has a yellow-gold rind with extra sweet white flesh. Melons grow 7-10 inches in size. Collective Farm Woman ripens early, as you would expect from a cool-weather melon. Harvest when the skin turns orange-yellow. Stores well for several weeks after harvest. ~644 seeds/oz.
