Honeydew melon is a much-loved summer fruit, prized for its smooth pale-green skin and succulent, sweet flesh. The fruit are round to slightly oval in shape, with a creamy rind that turns from greenish to yellow as they ripen. Inside, the flesh is juicy, aromatic, and refreshingly sweet, making it perfect for enjoying chilled on hot days.
This vigorous trailing vine thrives in warm, sunny conditions and produces a reliable crop of large, heavy melons. Honeydew melons are not only delicious eaten fresh but are also excellent in fruit salads, smoothies, desserts, and savoury pairings with ham, prosciutto, or cheese.
💡Tip: Harvest when the rind changes from greenish to creamy-yellow and the fruit gives off a subtle sweet aroma. For the best flavour, leave melons on the vine until fully mature.
