The Katanya Watermelon is a small-sized 10-20 Lb “ice-box" melon with greenish black skin and sweet, salmon-pink flesh. The vines are sturdy and prolific - producing melons well into fall and cooler weather.

Russian heirloom seed from "Katanya," a woman in northern Illinois. One of the best tasting smaller watermelons.

Growing tip: Melon seeds dislike cold soil. It's better to wait until the soil is warm to plant the seeds. Also, melons don't like to have their roots disturbed, so when thinning out seedlings in hills, cut the stems of those you want to remove, rather than pulling them out.
