Sativa

Benary's Sugar Ball

Cucumis melo

The sugar melon comes from the company Sativa in Rheinau. The seeds are sourced from a controlled Demeter seed cultivation in Switzerland or Germany. The Demeter brand stands for regulated farming practices on farms with animal husbandry. Additionally, the seeds are grown organically and ecologically. The fruits are orange with similarly colored flesh and are very aromatic, featuring a small seed cavity. To prevent rot, a board should be placed under the growing fruits. The seeds can be dried and stored in an airtight container. They can then be sown again the following year.

Recommended cultivation break: 3-4 years  
Planting distance: 100 cm between rows, 50-100 cm within the row  

Planting: April to May  
Sowing indoors: March to May  
Harvest: August to October  

Interesting facts:

The watermelon is a sprawling to climbing, annual, herbaceous plant. The stem axes are thin, angular, ribbed, and stiffly hairy. They have branched tendrils. Most varieties, like the wild forms, are highly branched and can grow up to ten meters long. Some dwarf watermelon varieties have shortened internodes and grow more bushy. The root system is extensive but primarily located near the surface. The leaves are pinnate, which distinguishes them from other cultivated gourd species. They are stiffly hairy on both sides. The edible portion of the fruit consists of about 95.8% water, 3.3% carbohydrates, 0.2% fiber, 0.2% protein, 0.2% fat, and 0.3% minerals, as well as vitamins A and C and antioxidants.
