Growing Honey Rock Melon
‘Honey Rock’ is an award-winning heirloom melon and 1933 All-America Selections Winner prized for its sweet flavor, firm flesh, and distinctive ribbed fruits. Vigorous vines can produce up to seven compact melons with attractive salmon-orange flesh and excellent eating quality.
