| I think "Serenade" from Johnny's is considered to be a butterscotch type, though the flesh is orange. Their little "Sweetie #6" has gone off the market. Growers seem to have had trouble deciding when to pick it, for one thing. I heard it was going to disappear, and bought a big pack of seeds the last year it was available. Send me an E-mail if you can't find another source. The seeds are very tiny. My favorite melon, Early Sugarshaw, also seems to have gone off the market. Bill from Southern California (see the thread below) loves the Butterscotch melons, and he also convinced me to buy seeds of the larger "Vanilla Ice" from Burpee, though I haven't planted any yet. It's been moved to their "bargain" pages, so I wouldn't dawdle if you want to try it. He also loves Haogen, which has been a very good melon for me. There are lots of very sweet, pale-fleshed melons coming out now. Maybe you'll have some fun trying to find one like the one you tasted last summer. Among heirlooms, the Galia types may come closest to what you're looking for. |
