869GOLDEN GOPHERCert. BD/OG85 days.HEIRLOOM from the Univ. of Minnesota in the 1930s. 6 in. fruit with deep-orange flesh. Resistant to Fusarium Wilt. Our Golden Gopher was grown for a large CSA where the members commented on the great flavor and helped to save the seed. Upon ripeness, the fruit of this melon slips from the vine when pulled. (If they are not ripe, they will not slip.) Around the beginning of August, begin to check the melons and when they start ripening, pick the melons each day. Otherwise, the tendency of this variety is to pop open when over-ripe. One of the sweetest melons ever, so it is well worth attentiveness to the harvest.

868DELICIOUS 51 PMRCert. BD/OG82 days.It is exceptionally delicious. Very early 4-5 lb. round-oval fruit, well-netted with sweet orange-salmon flesh. We grew this out in 2010, and we could not believe how sweet and delicious it was. We grew it out in the field here in NY, but one of our friends thought it must have been greenhouse grown, because usually it is hard to grow such sweet melons this far north! This strain has been further bred at Cornell Univ. to resist Powdery Mildew.| S$3.00 | |

871SHARLYNCert. BD/OG95 days.Sometimes considered a honeydew, Sharlyn's oval fruits are somewhat netted when mature. Juicy pale green flesh has a great flavor. California grower Harald Hoven says it performs best in milder climates. At our table at the National Heirloom expo in Santa Rosa, people kept commenting on the amazing sweet scent, and when we finally got to eat the melons they tasted as good as they smelled!
