Crimson Sweet. I couldn't keep them on my stand this summer. But always looking for something new.

I like Mountain Hoosier. They taste about as good as any melon grown and they are early, productive and extremely large.

I grew a jubilee with minimum care and that sucker was delicious. Who knows how it woulda turned out had I really taken care of it

I have not tried most hybrid melons. I have always enjoyed growing and eating 'Sugar babies',' Jubilee' and 'Crimson Sweet'. I have not felt much of a need to try anything else yet.

How about seedless melons? I guess you need a pollinator plant but seems like people like them.

well ived decided on royal golden watermelon, orangeglo watermelon and verona cause it was the cheapest one, just wonder if it will get to spain or if they will let it in

Sangria is the sweetest I think. It has seeds. The seedless ones (hybrids) have less sugar content. My next favorite is the crimson sweet.The Sangria is a larger more typical shaped melon.
