Interested in developing a melon (or melons) adapted to your unique growing situation? It's hard to imagine a better place to start than this diverse breeding population. Resulting from crosses between Joseph Lofthouse's musk-melon population and a popular commercial hybrid cantaloupe, this grow will yield loads of very flavorful, sweet melons, in a wide range of shapes and sizes. This population comes from breeder and longtime EFN grower Kevin Bane in Tennessee.
