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.

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.
