“Bayou Moon” is a Bunny Hop Seeds Original Creation. This green-when-ripe salad is a sister line to two other segregants of the same cross: Bayou Dusk and Bayou Sun. Bayou Moon is the first release in this series because I believe that given the recessive genes and unchanging phenotype from F4, I can offer F7 generation Bayou Moon seeds at this time. The parents in this cross were Green Mustang (GWR beefsteak) x ATVO0102 (beta carotene cocktail from Africa with nematode and bacterial wilt resistance as well as moist heat tolerance). I am highly pleased with the texture and flavor of the Bayou line. Bayou Moon’s flavor is sweet and smooth, typical of good tasting green-when-ripe varieties. These are 4 to 6oz salads, with the majority of them being an ounce heavier than Bayou Sun. Bayou Moon produces very well in my challenging climate.
