Marie Doyon shares Amy Goldman’s seed saving techniques from Amy’s new book, “The Melon”, in Chronogram:
The taste of melons at their peak, oozing honey, is incomparable, as is the air, sweet-smelling with muskmelon on an August night.” Thus begins the first chapter of Amy Goldman Fowler’s latest book, “The Melon”, an ode to the Cucurbitacae family.
“The Melon”: Available now.
Created over the course of nine years, The Melon is both an information-packed resource and a visual delight. This definitive compendium on melon and watermelon reflects recent research findings and Goldman’s growth as a gardener since the publication in 2002 of her award-winning book, Melons for the Passionate Grower.
“Atlas Obscura”profiles Amy’s new book “The Melon”:
