I think the problem (difference of opinion?) here is I'm trying to grow melons that taste good, even if they take longer to ripen. Husbands grandfather grew melons for selling, and they all ripened at one time, early. Right now I'm growing:
Early moonbeam 80 days
Orange and green honeydew 110 days
Isreali melon 95 days
Moon and stars 82 days
Charentais 85 days
Blacktail mountain 70 days
Prescott fond blanc 90 days
Sweet passion 85 days
Jumbo melon 90 days
I planted them March 15, and again every three weeks, but its been raining, overcast a lot this year. Couldn't tell you which, if any tastes good, as I've never gotten a melon to ripen.
