sternus1 says... It depends what you're looking for in a melon. watermelon is fairly boring,and takes up a lot of space. I've grown many, the best was an American orange fleshed variety of moon and stars, followed closely by Golden midget. Muskmelons have more flavor, the mango melon is ok but far from the best of the charentais-type melons. It has a small seed cavity which is a pretty big pro. Prescott fond blanc and delise are regarded by a lot of people as the best, I prefer the green fleshed muskmelons, the best of these being Boule d'or. That said I do really like Sapo as well, it has the best flesh consistency of any melon, but people are put off by its mild and cucumberish flavor. | About the Author sternus1 Australia 29th April 2014 8:04am #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |

sternus1 says... Cropped heavily, taste is excellent. Not overly seedy, very firm flesh right through to the centre--crisp, not overly sugary. Not chewed too badly by anything, but like a lot melons developed powdery leaf fungus, probably as a result of my watering the leaves constantly because I am a lazy gardener. I have seeds you can have, buy you'll need to message me your email today, as tomorrow is my posting day. | About the Author sternus1 Australia 29th April 2014 10:08am #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |

BJ says... Just interested as the Orangelo is another heavyweight orange fleshed watermelon but it has large white seeds, not black, and not very many of them. Thought it might have been a feature of orange fleshed watermelons, but apparently not. Tastes more of a juicy mango melon than a standard watermelon. | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 29th April 2014 6:11pm #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |
