| Positive | eggbeater | On Feb 13, 2006, eggbeater from Elton, LA wrote: This is the best orange fleshed melon I have ever tasted.Some of them grow to 40 pounds,but even those under 20 pounds are very good. I grow them for local retail sales,and each year the demand grows.I agree with Farmerdill about their having very tender rinds.Also,I find them slow to emerge,and I sometimes have difficulty getting a good stand, |

It is very slow to emerge from seed. While others are growing in 3 to 5 days, this one likes 7 to 10 days. |
| Positive | Farmerdill | On Nov 7, 2003, Farmerdill from Augusta, GA (Zone 8a) wrote: Orangeglo is a long type orange fleshed melon with similar markings to the Georgia Rattlesnake and its derivatives. It is a large melon (avg 30 lbs). It is extremely prolific and delicious. It has two drawbacks. 1. It is a late ripening melon 2. The rind is so tender that it must be handled gingerly on the way to the table. It does not crack in the field, however |
