OTHER: Midget Cantaloupes are both adorable & delicious! These smaller melons grow to 4”, or roughly the size of a softball, & weigh between 8–16 oz. They are the perfect “personal melon” size – grab a spoon & dig in! The fruit has a high sugar content & is very sweet. The fragrant melons have juicy orange flesh beneath thin rinds.
These muskmelons grow on compact plants with good disease resistance & sturdy stalks. Their vines only reach 3-4’, making them a wonderful choice for container gardens. Each plant produces from 6 to 8 melons. The fruit matures much more quickly than that of a full sized cantaloupe, making them a great choice for northern areas with a shorter growing season. They grow so quickly that in moderately warm climates 2 crops can be harvested in a season.
If you are someone who grows to sell at The Farmer’s Market, you will definitely want to sow these! You will beat everyone & be the first to market with sweet juicy fresh local cantaloupe. Imagine how many you could sell in a weekend when you are the only one that has cantaloupes!
