Q
My very best melons are Raspa. Really good ones weigh from 32-38 pounds and tend to set 2 fruits. I love Sangria, but find it setting 5 or 6 melons that do not reach full size and flavor. Cooperstown and Sweet Slice Plus have made excellent seedless, but are more chancy.

For an older icebox melon in the Sugar Baby Class, Mickylee is a better producer and better eating quality.

Crenshaws. The Burpees Early Hybrid is big and delicious. It does love to crack, split, develop rot. I go with Lily which is productive and has thick enough skin to avoid those problems. Not as good tasting, but I don't have to put with lots of culls.
