Melon experiment update

Last year I tried to grow melons for the first time.  Some came to fruition, some didn't, some I didn't like.  Here's an update.

Red-Seeded Citron seemed to come to fruition but I couldn't tell because it isn't an eating melon. It has to be cooked before it is edible.  Won't try this again.

Unsuccessful - Moon and Stars, Queen Anne's Pocket Melon, Golden Midget, Charentais, Delice de Table.

Successful - Prescott Fond Blanc, Minnesota Midget.

This year the melon wish-list includes Charentais, Prescott Fond Blanc, Golden Midget, Noir Des Carmes.  I followed some of the advice offered by successful melon growers, but the cloudy cool weather we've been experiencing is everything melons don't like, so success is not a given.
