Cream Cobra

This unusual heirloom variety produces large oblong melons with smooth, yellow skin which splits & peels back when ripe – resembling a cobra’s hood.  The flesh is dryer than other melons with both an unusual flavour & distinctive smell.  

It is not as sweet as other varieties, but still flavoursome especially when drizzled with honey or served with ice-cream.

Marigolds can be inter-planted, as they act as a natural insect and pest repellent.
