A heritage melon from the Ukraine, Collective Farm Woman won't like the hottest summers, but should be fine if sown early or protected from the hot sun. The flavour is the primary attraction. The rounded, golden fruits have a very high natural sugar content, making them a deliciously sweet snack that remains a favourite despite the common availability of commercial melon varieties. It is happy to ripen early, so you can extend your melon-growing season with ease.
