Melon pear seeds.

[goosander]

My usual supplier of seeds [ Plant World Seeds company] is out of stock at present of Melon Pear seeds. Just wondering if anyone knows any one else that stocks them.
Have had great service from Real Seeds over the years and this is the first time they have been out of stock.
Thank you for any help.
Bob.

whoops didn't see that ...derrr

Am surprised that more people do not grow them as even I can get a good crop and are very tasty. The blue flowers are a change of colour in the greenhouse. Kept some overwintered from cuttings taken in August but not last season..

Do they taste like cucamelon....?

[goosander]

Would say that they taste more like a melon. They are very juicy and you can eat the thin skin when ready. Take one with me when out walking and is a better refresher than water,

Think i need to try them.too. Thanks

Sounds very interesting so I've gotten myself a pack of seeds on ebay. Wouldn't trust seeds from China but there are a few established UK sellers offering them, if you filter out international results

[Ms-T]

Let us know how you get on ..maybe you can save some seeds to swap.

Any names you could recommend. Never happy buying from a company I do not know.
Thanks.

This is the eBay item I got
201923829748
i haven’t bought from them before but if they’ve been around since 2009 it can’t be too dodgy.
Looking at the picture of the seed packet it’s originally from Holland, but I’ll update when they arrive, if it comes actually in a sealed packet or just in an envelope.

[Grafitti]

Seeds arrived today, in a proper packet. Expiry 7/22 so that's good enough for me
Photos linked below, still can't upload them here

Those photos will upload if you resize them to 1024X768.
I think the image file size is what is limited but the dimensions I use go pretty big in most browsers and upload for me.
The exact limit will be deep in the help files in the pull down.
