| Ok I went through the archives and found folks don't like the Tigger. I just planted some. Oh well, it will be fun for the little one to see them. CAn you all, give my your top 5 picks of sweetest "small" melons that grow well in my zone? I do prefer the heirlooms. Thanks |

| What is sweet to me may not be sweet to you. :) But define "small". You mean single serving size? |
RE: Tigger Melon

| Small would be single serving to about the size of a large cantalope. 1-3 servings. I suppose you are right, I or my little girl may actually like the Tigger. Time will tell. |

| I grew Minnesota Midget last year and it takes up very little room, bears single serving size very sweet and tasty melons. It's a short-season melon and did just fine in Southern California (inland valley). |

| greenwitch Minnesota Midget sounds great. Any chance you have a few spare seeds? I could send you some type of melon I have. I do have several types. Charentais, Bush Sugar Baby, Ali Baba, Blacktail Mountain, Orengeglo, Moon and Stars. If not I am sure I can find the seed at EBAY. Thanks for the suggestion! |

| goatster, I'm sorry I didn't save any seed and someone took the remainder in the package at an exchange I went to. However, Thomson and Morgan has them on sale half price - today is the last day of the sale however. |

| I thought the little Butterscotch (Sweetie) melons I grew were good. Got the seeds from Johnnyseeds. They are single-serving sized, and seem to be a cross between a tiny cantaloupe and a tiny honeydew. They have been the sweetest of any melons I've grown and quite productive too. The only downside is that they are prone to cracking open. Then ants and other insects get into them. So you have to keep a close eye on those. |
