Vegetables - Melon Seeds
What is your best melon variety? This is a question that is often asked, but there are so many distinct types of heirloom melon seeds in here that it is very difficult to pick out a favorite. These melons are not to be confused with watermelons. Watermelons are in the Citrullus family while these melons are in the Cucumis family - more closely related to our cucumber seeds. But they do not taste like cucumbers! The Musk Melons or cantaloupe are probably the most common type of melon, but some of the other specialty melons are definitely worth a try. The Banana Melons look a little weird, but are really unique and sweet. The Casaba is another one that you need to try. We really like the Minnesota Midget, with the little melons that are about the size of a softball. If you order heirloom seeds in bulk and plant several varieties of melons, then you can time it so that you have a constant summer supply of different types of melons, because they will not all ripen at the same time.
