Orangeglow is one of the best tasting sweet watermelons I have ever grown. I have grown it for the past seven years. It always does well in my zone 4 garden. I start the seeds six weeks before transplanting outside.
As for Cream of Saskatchewan, I also grow this every year, but it is not a real sweet watermelon. It has a fresh crisp lightly sweet taste..But we still love it.
I have grown Blacktail Mountain a couple of years, It was a really good producer of 8-10# melons, but could never get it to get the red stage it is suppose to get..even when fully ripe it stayed more of a pinkish red, and the flavor was not that sweet for us..
For melons, I grow Petit Gris de Renne, It is a smaller melon averaging around 2-3#. The taste is sweet rich and outstanding.very fragrant smell.. Love it!!
The Charentais melon is another super sweet small #3 melon, very fragrant and wonderfu..
Heard great things about the taste of Ambrosia.. Will have to try sometime..
