Ideal for Short-Season Areas

(1 customer reviews)

Great-tasting early Sweet 'n Early Hybrid Cantaloupe! Super sweet and juicy, with firm salmon-orange flesh. Bears over a long time, sets round to oval 4- to 6-inch fruits, 6-8 per plant. Resists powdery mildew. 66 DAYS.

Give melon fertile soils and warm temps (use black plastic mulch to cool regions), and you’ll harvest plenty of large, luscious fruits.

Excellent early Cantaloupe
Reviewed By: Bill (Peoria, IL)
This cantaloupe is relatively small but incredibly sweet! Actually it is perfect size for eating the whole thing at once. Almost all of the melons ripened within a few days of each other, so if you want them all summer you would need to stagger your plantings. Overall, one of the best I've ever grown.
