This is a small, 1 serving sized melon, but is very sweet and very productive. It looks and tastes like a cross between a honeydew and a muskmelon, only in miniature. They outproduced any melon I've ever grown. They did tend to split some when it would rain, but heavy rains did not dilute the flavor any. This is probably my favorite of the varieties I've grown, for sweetness and productivity. |
