The Ogen Melon is an Israeli Melon variety that was developed in the 1960's on a kibbutz named Ogen, hence the name.
Ogen produces a large abundance of very fine melons with a smooth, lightly netted skin. The skin changes from a very light green color and matures into a gold-yellow and features a very light netting. The interior is a very pale green with an orange ring around the seed cavity. Ogen melons have a taste that rivals almost any other melon available; a very rich, aromatic and nearly captivating sweetness. Ogen, quite simply, is the best tasting melon you can grow in your garden.
