Did a little test with seeds that were harvested from melons of different ages. I harvested the seeds the same day that the melon was pulled. Dried them for 10 days in the garage where temps stayed 80-95°. Only kept seeds that appeared sound and mature. Started 15 of each. There was no significant difference in numbers that germinated. 26 had 13, 31-15, 40-14 and they were last checked on day 8 after starting. The 26 day seeds had a shorter root as a group. I feel comfortable harvesting seeds from the 2 seed melons on my back porch.
