For an OP I agree with the rest and that would have to be Black Tail Mountain,bred by Glenn Drowns with his Sandhill Preservation website when he lived in Northern Idaho which has a very short cool season.

Where he is now in Iowa melons do much better and of course he also sells seeds for this watermelon. Glenn is growing older, I've known him and his wife Linda for several decades, but while he grows older the seeds he sells ,when he's not teaching at a local K thru 12 (his wife organizes the seed selling and shipping out of his heirloom birdies ) the seeds he sells are much more fresh since he raises most of what he sells,eg.no tomato seeds sold are over 2 yo and only a few others can get close to that.


Carolyn,who is not his PR agent but has admired Glenn for his honesty,his dedication to preservation and his maintaining the SSE varieties for many years.
