A small watermelon, 3 to 4 lbs with light green skin and pink to salmon colored flesh is said to be an early, short season melon from Japan. Vining plants should produce sweet, delicious melons through the summer until frost. This is my first year growing and will report the results at the end of the season. Like other watermelons, harvest when the tendril closest to the fruit dries and turns brown.
