- Moon and stars watermelon. 2023
This is the moon and stars watermelon.
I have no experience growing this variety of watermelon, so when I notice the large spot forming on the top I got nervous. Having lost so many melons to animals and insects, I was not taking any chances with this one. So I might have harvest it a little too early, it was after the harvest it occurred to the spot might be the moon. It's clear that the little yellow dots are the stars.
About the taste, I raised the score from a 5 to a 7. Before I eat the watermelon I was eating figs, the figs may have affected the taste of the watermelon.

First time here visiting your homestead 👍
I shall soon plant out my first Moon and stars and lady finger banana....we have some slight frost in my area come winter but temperature is rising.
Shall also grow Yacon 🙏
Our melons did not do well this year because we planted them late in the season. The inconsistent heat and rain did not help. Many of the melons started splitting. We did not get the yield we were hoping for. If all goes well in the 2024 planting season, we are not sure what we will be planting yet but we are hoping to get started after the last frost.
Nice, I’m glad you were able to salvage the plants from the wind and hailstorm. I am continuously amazed by nature. That planting things a few weeks later than the normal planting season could result in the grass out growing the watermelon vine. I never thought about that. And why in the world would those melons have been completely dried out like that?!? But like you said back to earth it goes and the seeds will sow themselves for a future harvest. I’ve never seen a near white watermelon, the one you left on the ground to grow a bit more. I’ll stay tuned to learn about that one. But the morning star melon did look rather juicy. Too bad it was not as sweet as it looked and I’ve had stringy melon before and i’m not a fan. Hopefully the family will like it. But if not the dogs and rabbits will enjoy. Thanks so much for sharing. Stay blessed. ✌🏾🍉🙂
We planted 17 varieties of watermelons on the ground this season. After seeing the grass taking over, we decided to replant all 17 varieties on the tarp. some of these melons are so beautiful. Enjoy the planting season and wishing you many success in the garden.
Your watermelon looks amazing. The yellow spot on the front is perfectly normal. It gets the name moon and stars because of the big yellow spot and the smaller speckles (it mimics the actual sky, etc). The leaves are also speckled. I just harvested mine and I agree that it was not that sweet. I recommend you try sugar babies and/ or Charleston grays or crimson sweet watermelons. Good job and good luck.
Thank you.😀
I only got 1 Moon and Stars watermelon this year. Planted 2 times. The one I got was 2 pounds. It didn't look like it was ripe at all when I cut it. It's tendril had dried up days before I picked it. I was disappointed that the flesh was hardly pink, and it burst with seeds. The taste was surprising! It was very sweet and tasted like a good watermelon. Maybe we have gotten so used to the hybrids that we don't know what to look for with this heirloom. I got my seeds from Monticello- the Thomas Jefferson strain. I'm going to plant it again.
We had the exact same experience. Each one we cut didn't look ready, but tasted great! We plan to plant it again, but earlier in the season in 2024. I hope yours does well!
The spot is normal. Some have that spot.. called the MOON
