Délice de la Table - Melon Seeds

Délice de la Table is a charming French heirloom whose name means “Delight of the Table.” Documented in 1885, this old-fashioned melon produces deeply ribbed fruits that turn yellow-orange as they ripen, looking almost like little pumpkins with sweet orange flesh tucked inside. The flesh is tender and fragrant, making this a lovely melon to slice and enjoy fresh on a warm summer day. Its sculpted shape brings as much character to the table as its flavor, while the sprawling vines carry a piece of French kitchen-garden history into the garden row.
