  • Posted by farmerdill (Augusta Georgia - Zone 8a) on Jul 7, 2014 8:11 AM concerning plant:
    Relatively early (78 day) Athena type hybrid. Slightly larger and enhanced disease package. This type does well here and is a very popular market melon. Shorter shelf life and more vulnerable to handling than the western types.
