Other: The Kolkhoznitsa is a Russian heirloom melon introduced to the US in the 1990s, renowned in its native country and gaining popularity elsewhere. This melon is known for its fragrant, sweet creamy white flesh and golden rind. The fruits are round, weighing between 1 – 2 pounds at maturity. The plants have a compact size, apt for container gardening, and typically produce 3 melons per plant. They are well-suited for northern climates with shorter growing seasons due to their quick maturation and good cold-hardiness.
