Best tasting melon I’ve ever tried.
I got these seeds from Annie’s Heirlooms a couple years ago, but this was my first year growing them. Germination was still great. I planted a couple in my “wild garden” that I never water, and one of them survived and produced several of the best tasting melons I’ve ever tried in my life. I’ve never had a melon that tasted quite like this before. Almost like a cross between caramel and a cantaloupe! I’ll definitely be planting these next year, and will upgrade them to my raised beds and trellises that I give more tlc.
