A burst of summertime sweetness! Honeydew is a seasonal favorite. It's a reminder of cool evenings filled with the gentle flicker of fireflies. Start indoors or directly in mounds of soil, each about 2 feet wide. This breakfast table favorite ripens in warm weather. Be sure to plant in a sunny spot.
