Questions about Honey Kiss melon

ginger2778 · June 18, 2017

I confess, I cannot grow melons to save my life. I am curious about the Hami , aka Honey Kiss melon at my local Publix. I saw them there for the first time, and bought one ($4.99) out if curiosity. It has a crispness to the flesh even when ripe, and an unbelievable sweetness, far sweeter than even the best cantaloupe or honeydew. I am in love with it.

Anyone ever grow it or taste it here?
I am saving seeds by fermentation, is that the right thing to do with melon seeds?Trying again to grow a melon, this one is worth it.
Are these hybrids?
