| I planted this canteloupe for the first time in the spring of 2007 along with my usual Ambrosia. This is an excellent melon. The ratings speak for themselves. My only comment is that the seed packed description seemed to understate the size of the melons. About half of the melons I picked weighed out at 8 to 10 lbs. Looks like if I decide to try any new varities next year the will have to compete for space with Burpee Hybrid and Ambrosia. |
