FAST BREAK CANTALOUPE, MY FAVORITE OF THE WEEK

I highly recommend this cantaloupe, I have had the best luck with it. It is a great producer with at least five large cantaloupes per hill. I usually buy the starts from a greenhouse, but this year I am going to plant seeds. It says on the package 85-95 days. It matures early in the season and is great tasting too.

NOTE: The package says 10-20 days to germination. I soak the seeds for about five days before planting, this will speed up the germination process.
