Delicious 51 Cantaloupe Seeds (Cucumis melo) – 50+ Non-GMO Heirloom Seeds for Planting, Sweet Aromatic Orange Flesh & Netted Rinds, by Isla’s Garden Seeds, Gift Idea for Gardeners
Delicious 51 Cantaloupe (Cucumis melo) is an early, reliable heirloom prized for its rich aroma and sweet, juicy orange flesh. Fruits typically weigh 3–5 lb with a classic netted rind and small seed cavity—perfect for breakfast bowls, smoothies, and refreshing summer desserts.
A warm-season favorite, Delicious 51 matures in about 80–85 days and thrives in full sun with heat and even moisture. Vigorous vines set heavily when pollinators are active and temperatures are steady, rewarding regular watering and good airflow with consistent, high-quality melons.
Harvest at full slip—when fruits release easily from the stem—and enjoy peak sweetness and perfume. Chill before serving for the best flavor and texture. Excellent for fresh eating, fruit salads, and juicing.
Dependable, early, and flavorful, Delicious 51 brings classic muskmelon taste to home gardens with a steady crop of beautifully netted melons all season long.

🌱Planting Instructions
Approx seeds per order 50
Sow outdoors after danger of frost when soil is warm (65–70°F+), or start indoors 2–3 weeks early in biodegradable cells to minimize root disturbance. Choose a sunny site with fertile, well-draining soil; raised beds or mounds warm fastest in spring.
Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep, spacing 18–24 inches apart on rows 5–6 feet apart, or 3–4 plants per hill with hills spaced 3–4 feet. Water deeply and consistently—avoid wetting foliage late in the day. Mulch to maintain even soil moisture and encourage steady growth.
Encourage pollination by attracting bees with nearby blooms. Reduce water slightly as fruits near maturity to concentrate sweetness. Harvest at full slip when fragrance is strong and the stem detaches with gentle pressure.
