I have 5 free seeds of delice de table melon (delight of the table). These have come directly from France and are an heirloom variety, very rare--touted as superior to charentais.

Will post for free within Australia.

Julie,

You can have the remainder I was going to plant, its ok. Honestly I don't think I will have space for any more melons in my patch, not this time anyway--I am intending to plant more trees in the same locale and I am already having to cut into some of the vines (Had to shift an ocra plant too). Drop me a message with a po box and I'll send you a couple, have some pumpkin (shishigatani) and golden midget melons you can have if you like also.

Thanks starling. I'm growing Chioggia pumpkin ATM, and I'm a bit wary of too many squash cross pollinating each other.

I could put the melon on the other side of the house though, and hope it doesn't cross.

Melons only cross with other Cucumis melons, not Cucumber, but will X with Armenian "cucumber" types etc, not with Watermelon or pumpkin either,
Pumpkins only cross within their species
ie butternut types Cucurbita moschata
Qld Blue types C.maxima
Zucchini and squash C.pepo
Cushaw types C.argyrosperma
You could grow 1 each of these types together for seedsaving purposes, if you are not saving seed, crossing won't affect your pumpkin harvest.

starling,I sent you an email yesterday.

JakFruit, I'm an idiot! I knew that - just totally forgot. I have the Seed Savers Handbook which gives you all the info, so no excuse. Brain fog.

Julie,

I have not received that email, I checked my spam box and it isn't in there either. If you're with yahoo, sometimes this doesn't like gmail.

Thanks for the offer nick, but I really don't have any more room for melons at this stage (they're thirsty, too). Hope the delice produce well for you.

Jantina,

The brown seed is a golden midget watermelon from the US (grows about the size of a softball, yellow skinned, red fleshed). The larger and darker seeds are the delise, the smaller are the nutmeg muskmelon.
