Delicious 51 Melon, Organic

🍈 Edisto 47 Melon: The Pride of the South If you are looking for a melon that can handle the heat and humidity of a long Southern summer while delivering unmatched sweetness, the Edisto 47 Melon is your gold standard. Originally bred for the challenging conditions of the Southeastern United States, this heirloom cantaloupe is famous for its rugged disease resistance and its deep, honey-sweet flavor. 📜 The Story: A Clemson University Classic The Edisto Melon has a prestigious agricultural pedigree: Origin: Developed at the Clemson University Edisto Experiment Station in Blackville, South Carolina. Release: It was first introduced to the public in 1957. Purpose-Bred: It was specifically engineered through traditional breeding to solve the problems Southern gardeners faced: intense heat, heavy rains, and the various mildews that often claim lesser melon varieties. ✨ Key Features Heirloom & Open-Pollinated: A stable, non-hybrid variety that allows gardeners to save seeds for future seasons. Disease Powerhouse: The Edisto 47 is legendary for its high resistance to Powdery Mildew, Downy Mildew, and Alternaria Leaf Spot, making it one of the most reliable melons for humid climates. Tight Netting: The fruit features a very thick, heavy "netting" on the skin, which helps protect the delicate interior from pests and sun-scald. High Sugar Content: Known for its high Brix (sugar) rating, offering a rich, traditional cantaloupe flavor that modern supermarket varieties often lack. 🍽️ Flavor & Texture Profile The Edisto 47 is a "muskmelon" type, meaning it carries a wonderful, floral aroma that fills the kitchen when sliced. Attribute Description Flesh Color Deep, vibrant salmon-orange Shape Slightly oval to round Size Large (typically 3 to 5 pounds) Flavor Intensely sweet with a hint of musk and honey Texture Firm, juicy, and never "mushy" 🍴 Culinary Inspiration While it is perfect eaten fresh with a spoon, the Edisto 47's firm flesh makes it ideal for: Breakfast Bowls: Scoop out the seeds and fill the center with Greek yogurt and granola. Prosciutto Wraps: The high sweetness provides a perfect contrast to salty cured meats. Fruit Salsas: Dice it with red onion, jalapeño, and lime for a refreshing summer topping for grilled fish. Melon Sorbet: Blend and freeze for a naturally sweet, refreshing dessert that captures the essence of summer. 🪴 Growing Information Days to Maturity: 85–90 days. Sun Exposure: Full Sun (Requires plenty of heat to develop sugars). Vining Habit: Vigorous vines that need plenty of room to spread. Harvest Tip: This is a "slip" variety—when the melon is ripe, a gentle tug will cause it to "slip" or detach easily from the vine. Gardener’s Note: "If you’ve struggled with melons rotting or dying from mildew before they ripen, the Edisto 47 is the answer. It’s built to survive the humidity while producing some of the sweetest fruit you'll ever taste." Taste a Southern tradition.Whether you are a gardener in the humid Carolinas or just someone who appreciates a rugged, sweet heirloom, the Edisto 47 Melon is a reliable performer that brings the taste of a classic summer harvest to your backyard.

Amish Melon, Heirloom, Organic

Armenian Cucumbers (or Striped Armenian or Snake Cucumber) actually belong to the melon family but looks like a tastes like a cucumber! This iis an Armenian heirloom dating back to th 1400's. It become very popular in Italy and is a beloved fruit today. It is always sweet as it will not develop any bitterness. The skin is super thin so it is not peeled and the seeds are few and small. My friend Meiko has fond memories of her Japanese grandmother pickling these! I really need to get that recipe.

PRIVACY POLICY

If for any reason you are not happy with a purchase, please email us at andre@fireflyfarmandmercantile.com so we can assist.&nbsp; We do provide refunds up to 10 days of you receiving merchandise. We may ask for the product to be returned to be eligible for a refund. We do not do refunds for shipping unless it is something we feel we could have done better. Carriers often don’t deliver based on their own timelines but you can always pick up at our garden shop too. Unlike most online garden retailers we have a business location too, so come in out and visit our farm.

REFUND POLICY

Sometimes the products purchased may weigh more or less than the calculated shipping rate. We try our best to determine the weights based on current and past inventory.&nbsp; We do provide refunds proactively and will communicate accordingly. And in some instances we may need to contact you for additional payment if the shipping warrants it.&nbsp;
We try our best to offer the right services for you at checkout. If we see an opportunity for a more desirable service we will reach out to you. Please ensure we have a good contact number or email&nbsp; so we can do so.&nbsp;
United States Postal Service and UPS services go out Monday through Friday. This allows us to ensure we provide a quality product at a reasonable rate. Any delivery times are just estimates from the carrier once they receive the package. We cannot change this due to Shopify’s policy. I would if I could as it can lead to some confusion. We are a small garden shop and have very little pull with any carrier (and seriously who really does with USPS or any other). For the most part UPS timelines have been the most consistent. But there are not delivery dates but days your package will be in transit once we drop it off. In average we take 1-4 business days to fulfill orders and then the carrier’s approximate shipping times are added to that.&nbsp;

SHIPPING POLICY

We accept various forms for payment. Currently we accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express as well as Google Pay and Shop Pay.
We strive to deliver on what we say we are going to do. Pre-orders are orders that are being taken without inventory on hand. The advantage is you get a great price, but sometimes crops just don't yield what is expected. We will use many different suppliers to fulfill your orders as best as possible. We won't substitute without your permission so please make sure you leave your best contact information so we can reach out to you. On occasion if unable to reach you, we will simply send the substitute product but you are welcome to call us once receiving it and letting us know you’d like a refund on it.
