Melon Review

[seaeagle]

It was a great year for melons.



Muskmelon


Hearts of Gold - Always good. I guess they average 4 or 5 pounds. Been growing these for years and they never fail. Productive


Anne Arundell - Green flesh and big. They average 7 or 8 pounds which surprised me I never saw a weight for them. They taste great and very productive


Piel De Sapo - Takes a long time to get ripe, but worth the wait. I only averaged 2 per plant which was easy to count because I picked most of them on Sept. 1st. Harvested a few more a few days later and even found one while digging sweet potatoes a couple of days ago. It looks good and I still have 3 left so they really are long keepers with no sacrifice in taste. White flesh with faint orange in the center, very faint. They smell like vanilla or some kinda spice when vine ripened. The taste is fantastic but different from other melons. A must grow for me from now on. The weight went from 5 to 9 pounds.


Watermelon


Sugar Baby - Been growing for a few years. Productive, tastes good and seedy Good keeper


Black Tail Mountain - Similar to Sugar Baby but earlier and a maybe a little less seeds. Will grow both
