Good flavor and compact size for storing in refrigerator. | | Negative | cowtrailrd | On Aug 17, 2009, cowtrailrd from Shawnee, OK wrote: produced few melons and they were small. | | Neutral | WillowWasp | On Jul 5, 2009, WillowWasp from Jones Creek, TX (Zone 9a) wrote: Takes just as much time and effort to grow this one as the larger ones so why go so much smaller. I would only recommed this one if you had limited space. Other wise go for the bigger melons and save alot of effort.
It did have good taste and texture was so so, I did let some go a few days more than they should and they were grainy and didn't have good flavor.
I may try them again since my yead is soooo much smaller and I don't have the room I use to. | | Positive | ByndeweedBeth | On Sep 30, 2008, ByndeweedBeth from scio, oregon, OR (Zone 8a) wrote: These grow really good in the Willamette Valley, and are tasty. | | Negative | Gabrielle | On Mar 20, 2007, Gabrielle from Washington, IL (Zone 5a) wrote: These haven't done well for me in zone 5. | | Positive | Farmerdill | On Nov 3, 2003, Farmerdill from Augusta, GA (Zone 8a) wrote: Sugar baby was one of the frst "icebox" melons to become popular. A small round dark green melon, which resembles a miniature Black Diamond or Cannonball. Averages about 8 lbs. It is prolific and has good taste and texture. It is only a shade earlier than its big brothers, however |
