Unlike traditional mature winter melons, the fruits remain green and develop little to no white waxy bloom.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis versatile selection offers two useful harvest stages. Pick the young gourds at approximately 1.1 lb for tender flesh, a delicate sweetness and a crisp, succulent texture. Fruits may also remain on the vine until they reach approximately 4.4 lb, producing more substantial pale-green flesh for soups, braised dishes, steaming and stuffing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe vigorous vines continue setting fruit through favorable warm-season conditions. Train them on a strong trellis to keep the gourds straight, clean and easy to harvest. Support larger fruits with slings when necessary. Consistent moisture and regular harvesting encourage continued flowering and fruit development.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe fine surface hairs are normal for fuzzy melon and may irritate sensitive skin. Rub or peel away the hairs before cooking. Young fruits are excellent in stir-fries, while larger fruits are well suited to soups, stews, braising and stuffed preparations. Fuzzy melon is commonly harvested immature and used in soups, steamed dishes and stir-fries.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"BELLFARM","offers":[{"title":"1 Bag (20 Seeds)","offer_id":53282430714138,"sku":"WP-1372-choice","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/2106\/8058\/files\/54a3c20be991dca3ae1d477ce9497c8f.jpg?v=1793601596","url":"https:\/\/timergarden.com\/products\/w1372-sweet-green-fleshed-fuzzy-melon-seeds-wp1372","provider":"MUCIAKIE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
