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
A very early ripening melon ( almost two weeks ahead of regular cantaloupes) here. Very productive, about three times the yield of Sensation. It is a very sweet melon, but has no other distinctive flavor. White flesh is firm, but not crisp or crunchy. Sensation seems to have a bit more depth in flavor.
