The Moon and Stars watermelon is an heirloom variety of Citrullus lanatus that gets its name from the unmistakable interstellar markings on its rind. While there are several cultivars of this melon ranging in size, flavor and flesh color, the original Moon and Stars has the classic magenta-red interior and large brown seeds.
The history of the Moon & Stars watermelon is a short one, considering melons have been cultivated for at least 4,000 years, according to Amy Goldman, whose "Melons for the Passionate Grower" (Artisan, 2002) chockfull as it is with the history, growing tips and descriptions of heirloom melons, along with Victor Schrager's mouthwatering photos -- is a must-have for anyone who wants to cultivate melons.
