4.0 out of 5 stars
not necessarily EASY, but can be done,

This review is from: Rare Tigger Melon 10 Seeds - Heirloom - Delicious -Easy
I was able to grow myself some decent tigger vines by
1) not even touching the seeds when the outside temperature drops below 60 at night (we're zone 9 bordering on 8, so we're ready in april) 2) very carefully using park seed starter domes (to further protect these delicate vines from cold, disease, etc) 3) vigorously soaping their transplantation area and then hitting them with fungicide weekly They hve a tendency to pick up any disease in the air, soil, or water, and very sensitive to temperature. Anything below 55 will stunt and then kill them. They're even worse than cantaloupes with respect to their sensitivity. Easy, no. But very satisfying.

I love this melon!,
By Tsiri 2006 "tgtwinkie" (San Antonio, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rare Tigger Melon 10 Seeds - Heirloom - Delicious -Easy
I absolutely love this melon! When everything was frying in the garden in June '08 due to a heat spike, this plant was growing 2" a day! It's originally from Armenia, whose summers average around 90 degrees a day- perfect in Texas! They look so unique I was sharing seeds with co-workers whose kids get the biggest kick out of the green/dark green striped melons as they turn to orange/light orange stripe! About the size of a softball, they do have a "cantelope type" taste, but better. And they're just right for an individual serving size.

This review is from: Rare Tigger Melon 10 Seeds - Heirloom - Delicious -Easy
All of my hirts seeds germinated. Im not why everyone is having a problem. I have my tiger melons germinated, transplanted and thriving like crazy. I also have most of the varities of black tomatos seeded, transplanted and thriving. I have had to give away some of my plants because i have too many!
I also purchased the black watermelon and plan to give out those as gifts, they have all germinated and grown strong. I give hirts a 5 stars for everything all around great service, great seeds and i plan to buy the rest of my plants, seeds and anything else from hirts. Thanks so much this years garden will be prime!
