| I like this honeydew. I have a hard time telling when they're ripe, but when I pick a ripe one, it's yummy. I only got 1-2 melons per vine. I don't know if that's normal, but it's possible that I crowded the vines. I would plant this again. |

| This has been one of the best performing honeydews for me. Very consistant performer and while the flavor can be beaten by later maturing cultivars, it is very good. It is usually sold as Earli-Dew. |
