The melons were Minnesots Midgets. They are small, about the size of a softball, change color and pull off of the vine when ripe, and are an early variety. Probably not the very best tasting mellon variety, but really good. The literature says that the vines only get 3-4 ft long (OK for containers), but mine were twice that. I'm going to try growing them inside a tomato cage this year so that I can us the original space for a larger late variety. I had 5-6 plants in a 3x4ft raised bed/hill.
