What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Honey Rock Melon Seeds produce a celebrated heirloom cantaloupe, also known as Sugar Rock, prized for its exceptional sweetness and dependable garden performance. This All-America Selections winner from 1933 is known for its rich, honey-like flavor and smooth salmon-colored flesh that delivers a classic, full-bodied cantaloupe experience.

Plants are vigorous and productive, commonly yielding five to seven fruits per vine under good growing conditions. Each melon develops a thick, protective rind that helps safeguard the tender flesh, improving durability at harvest and extending usability after picking. Honey Rock is a trusted choice for gardeners seeking consistent yields, excellent flavor, and proven reliability.

Award-Winning Flavor and Performance:

  • Honey-sweet salmon-colored flesh
  • Exceptionally rich, classic cantaloupe flavor
  • Produces 5–7 melons per plant
  • Tough rind helps protect fruit and improve handling

Why Customers Love Honey Rock Melons:

  • Proven heirloom with AAS award recognition
  • Reliable yields for home gardens
  • Outstanding sweetness and aroma
  • Excellent balance of flavor, productivity, and durability

How to Use / How to Grow:
Sow Honey Rock melon seeds in full sun after soil has warmed and all risk of frost has passed. Plant in fertile, well-drained soil and provide consistent moisture during early vine growth. Once established, avoid overwatering to help concentrate sugars in the fruit.

Harvest melons when they develop a strong fragrance and release easily from the vine. Enjoy fresh, chilled, or as part of summer fruit dishes.
