Charleston Gray Watermelon
25 Seeds
Charleston Gray is an open-pollinated watermelon variety developed in 1954 that produces huge yields of 20-to-30-pound watermelons with bright red flesh and a beautiful blue-green mottled rind. Charleston Gray has amazing flavor, and is counted as one of the best-tasting watermelons available. Melons are ready to harvest approximately 85 days from planting. A packet contains 25 seeds.
My all-time best-tasting watermelon came from this variety. After my husband prematurely picked one (or so I thought) I asked him to toss it to our pigs. To my surprise, it broke open to reveal perfect juicy red flesh so I asked him to jump the fence and retrieve a piece... and as I was 8 months pregnant, he obliged. It was by far the best watermelon we'd ever had and consequently I had to humbly admit that maybe I wasn't the best melon picker in the house. - Becky
