I grew Ananas two summers ago and my experience was similar to what Fusion mentions. It was pretty hard to hit on the best time to harvest. I've grown several charentais varieties and Petit Gris de Rennes, but the variety I like best each and every year is Ambrosia.
Ali Baba watermelon is pretty good, but Orangeglo is just wonderful. This year, in addition to Orangeglo, I'm trying Blacktail mountain in the hopes of getting some early melons to spread out the harvest.
