Polish Watermelon

This ridiculously good tasting melon has a diverse gene pool, which gives it hybrid vigor while being an open pollinated landrace. Fruits come out in two types: the standard red icebox type as well some lighter-colored types. Many people have told Bryan O'Hara of Tobacco Road Farm that this is the best tasting watermelon they have eaten in their life, which has a lot to do with the soil it was grown in, but you will get a similar result in other natural farming systems. The original seed was from his Polish neighbor's father who had raised these watermelons for many years. Each year for the past 15-20 years, Bryan has been selecting from this crop for the most vigorous, earliest, biggest, and best tasting watermelons. Watermelons originate in West Africa, where they have been cultivated for at least four thousand years.  Days to maturity: 75-80 Seeds per pack: 20 Germination rate: 91% on 05/20/2025 Planting / harvesting notes Direct sow in warm soil after the last frost, or seed indoor
