Overall Taste Yield Ease	Richmond, Georgia, United States Frost Free Season: 183 - 203 days Soil Texture: Sand Garden Size: Large - More than 1,600 square feet (40' x 40') Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day
The open pollinated Canary has not performed well for me. The very long (100day) seasons exposes it to the vagaries of weather and diseases. Sometimes the vine dies before the melon ripens.
