I want seeds for Moon And Stars, Van Doren Strain. I am not interested in any other strains of Moon and Stars so if you would like to trade with me please be sure be sure the seeds you are offering are the Van Doren Strain. Also please make sure you are not sending me seeds that have been cross pollinated with other watermelon varieties. Watermelons cross very easily in the home garden. I am interested in trading and receiving ten seeds.

These are the varieties I have to trade.

Klondike Blue Ribbon watermelon

Jubilee watermelon

Ali Baba watermelon

Jenny Lind melon

Golden Jenny Lind melon

Honey Rock melon

Moon And Stars Yellow Fleshed watermelon

Orangeglo watermelon

Crimson Sweet Watermelon

Healy's pride melon

American Melon Ananas D Amerique A Chair Verte (the seeds of this variety that I currently have are 4 years old, if you want these, I will send extra seeds to ensure you see some germination. They have been stored in my fridge so they should still germinate).

Feel free to mix and match up to 3 varieties as long as the amount of seeds being traded adds up to 10 total. Thanks.

Hi Signet, I didn't get an email via gardenweb. I haven't sent in my donation envelope to the wintersown organization yet, so I can still mail these out to you. Could you please contact me again, but click on the email link, so you're actually directly emailing me, and not sending a message via gardenwebs system? I need your mailing address as I don't have it anymore. Thanks so much....Heather

This was the first and only year I have ever planted watermelon. I must say based on or own opinion and many people who are avid gardeners that the M&S we have been enjoying for 3-4 weeks have been delicious and very well formed. I do remember it seemed they took a cpl weeks after we planted for them to settle in and start their vineing process. Starting from seed my son Luke and I Started 4 plants (2 seperate hills)from seed and by the end of June they had taken all the room I had given them and were growing out of their area. Up the rose trellis and across our concrete patio. I think they would have grown over our home if I and my scissors had not taken action to keep them in the area (10x30). They made great and quite large melons, 38lbs in one case but no smaller than 25lbs. All the fruit, 11 total made it to maturity and were very juicy and sweet. They have vined and bloomed and set fruit again with one growing 3 feet off the ground on our rose trellis ,...need to build a stick platform for it lol. Which brings me to my question. Is thier enough time for them ( 5 more so far) to develop to maturity? And is it common for watermelons to have 2 seperate crops from each plant???? I water them really well until they are fully formed and not getting any larger then I cut the water back to whatever nature will give us......my take on M&S's watermelons.......GREAT!!!!!!....thx ,..timetaplant
