| Best cantelope-type melon I've found for short-season Wyoming. Bears prolifically, dozens of smallish, netted fruits with pale green flesh. Taste is outstanding, very sweet with an intense spiciness. Smells wonderful, too, when ripe. Great "single-serving" melon. Benefits from a black plastic mulch. |
