Charantais Melon seed source and best variety?

15 years ago

Hi everyone,

can someone recommend a good source to find these seeds? i did a search on here and some of the recommendations are no longer in business or no longer carry the seeds.

which charantais type have you tried and had success with and where did you get the seeds?

thanks in advance for your help.
