My husband loves this melon but I didnt like it at all. It has the texture of a cucumber and the flavor of an almost ripe cantaloupe. It is very productive and no problems with bugs or wilt. Hubby plants it every year... I would never plant it.

This litle melon is easy to grow and prolific. It has crisp flesh that has a distinct cucumber flavor. Relatively sweet, but I don't care for cucumbers with sugar on them.
