Compost Queen Hybrid Cantaloupe

 The results are in - It's delicious!  Next to home grown tomatoes, home grown cantaloupe is the most worthwhile project because you will rarely find one in a store or farmstand as good.  I double checked my records, and last year I planted both Napoli and Hannah's Choice so some or all of these melons could be a hybrid of those two melons.  To reiterate, these plants came up in compost spread on a resting bed.  Two plants were cucumbers, one slicer and one pickler which produced well, and the rest are cantaloupes.  I pretended to ignore them, did not fertilize or water even once all summer and they are going like gangbusters.



I am saving seeds.
