Product Information
The Charleston Grey Watermelon is a long-time favorite of gardeners everywhere.
Cut through the pale green, finely-veined rind to find bright red, exceptionally sweet, crisp flesh inside. Large oblong fruits can weigh 30 lbs. To tell if melons are ripe, tap the side lightly with your fist. A hollow sound means they’re ready.
