It is seems to be the only cantaloupe that we can grow. The packet was a free seed from one of the catalogs. I was hoping it would have a peach taste. It actually tastes bland with just a hint of lemon.
Our grand daughter really liked them the first year, but as she has grown older - not so much. We didn't plant any this year, but have several scattered around in places where we have never planted them.
