• Seed quantity: Pack containing 30 selected seeds, enough to start a generous and productive cultivation.
• Plant Type and Cultivation Cycle: Annual climbing or creeping plant, typical of summer crops. The complete cultivation cycle, from sowing to harvest, takes around 80-90 days in optimal conditions.
• Height and growth habit: Pele de Sapo melon plants develop long shoots that can extend for several meters, making them suitable for both ground cultivation, where they take up space, and with the aid of vertical supports, to optimize space and improve fruit exposure.
• Uses: Primarily culinary. The fruits are excellent eaten fresh as a dessert, in summer fruit salads, or as a refreshing addition to appetizers and salads.
• Tasting Notes: The oval-shaped fruits, medium in size (usually between 1.5 and 3 kg), have a thick, tough, dark green skin with noticeable spots and lighter, irregular veins, reminiscent of toad skin. The inner flesh is bright white, firm, extraordinarily juicy, and has an intensely sweet and sugary aroma, with notes of honey and ripe fruit.
• Hardiness and Origin: A traditional variety native to Spain, known for its hardiness and good tolerance to hot climates. It prefers high temperatures and constant sunlight for optimal fruit development.
• Sowing period: Direct sowing in open ground is recommended from April to June, after avoiding the risk of late frosts and when soil temperatures stabilize above 18°C. For early production, sowing in seedbeds can be done in March-April.
