2008 melons...help!

**nctomatoman** · January 12, 2008

So, last year the muskmelons Passport and Touchdown did very well, Ananas not so well. Watermelons Yellow Moon and Stars produced one lovely large fruit.

Now it is 2008...we want to go for smaller watermelons and greater yield (anyone recommend Blacktail Mountain? Sugar Baby? Others that fit this bill?)

And the SSE catalog shows loads of muskmelons with great descriptions - but way too many! Was pondering Charentais, perhaps Nutmeg, Hanover or Eden's Gem....but it is quite confusing!

Looking for feedback on the various melons in the SSE catalog that people have tried.
