Another type of melon that I grown this year, are some similar to these ones *not actual photo. I call these Horse melon. They came volunteering with horse manure. I put a line of manure under some tomato plants and the volunteer melon plants thrived like crazy. That horse ate nice melons. All of the melons were super big and they were suitable for long term storage.
1- Flavor was kind of nice, some better than other ones, not my preferred type, the texture was crunchy like my Fairy Shards melons. There were a couple that the flavor was not there, it is a melon, but no flavor at all.
2-The part of vigorous was there, self seeding, direct seeding, got a lot of competency between the plants, but the harvest was there. All me melons were super big, and the leaves and vines were everywhere…
3- They were appropriate for long term storage, but we eat them earlier than two months, so I did not check for more than that.
4- I feel like the melons grew very fast, but I guess like the others, since I left them unattended.
5- They do not change color when you harvest them
6- They were pretty resistant to bugs and inconsistent watering. But all the melons were exactly the same, so very inbreed, or came from the same few melon.
