I managed to grow a nice 25 lb oblong melon this year using seeds from a store melon (grafted to Cucurbita ficifolia) but it lacked in sweetness.

I can't seem to find much information on All Sweet and Cal Sweet so I was wondering which one would you recommend?

What are you wanting to do? Grow big or grow for eating?

Grow for eating. I don't have the space to grow big.

Moon and stars, & sugar babies are pretty sweet.

We like the Charleston Grays and Dixie Queens but the main thing to make one sweet is to not water it the last week before you cut it
