This enchanting heirloom variety is uncommon in North America but is a staple in France. The beautiful ribbed exterior is an extremely decorative addition to the garden. Inside, the orange flesh is juicy and sweet. The perfect addition to a summer fruit salad. 1-2lbs a piece.
This was by far the favorite for taste out of all the melons we grew this year! My daughter called it the “pumpkin melon” because of its shape. Sweet and juicy, can eat right down to the skin without any blandness or bitterness. Michigan, Zone 5b
These produced well for us. Struggled a bit with the squash bugs.
I gave one to my partner last summer... he said, "WHY DOES THIS TASTE LIKE CHAMPAGNE??"
This variety will be in my garden until I can no longer garden!
I just planted them and they look beautiful so far
Excellent Germination!
One of my favorite things to grow is spinach, I grow mostly in containers so I like to try and get as much as possible out of my small garden. This variety definitely does that. I get massive leaves and fill up a gallon sized ziplock bag relatively quickly every week when the harvest begins.
Germination went very well, popped up within a few days. Growing well!
