Heirloom Melons For Shorter Summer?

canuckistani
15 years ago

Any suggestions for a delicious and rare melon that grows well in a shorter summer?

Thanks!

    Most smaller melons should be fine. I'm going to try Minnesota Midgets, Korean and Royal Golden this year. Other good choices would be Cream of Saskatchewan & Sugar Baby.

    How did you do it? You two are ahead of your time. I'm answering your messages of Jan 19 09 today Jan 4 09. Second thought maybe I can see the future.
