The eating melons did great this year. The two melons in the foreground are 'Jubilee II', 'Jubilee II' is supposed to be a more disease resistant and improved Jubilee variety. They didn't get quite as big as the regular Jubilees I grew last year. However, they still exceeded the weights that the catalog said they would attain. The ones in the picture have to weigh over 50 pounds. (They grow big on the Bushel gourd and Shintosa rootstocks) Plus, you need to give them room to grow. Don't crowd them, mine were spaced 5' apart in the row with 15' on each side for them to grow into.
The melon behind the two Jubilees is an 'Allsweet'. It is the first time I have tried this variety. A taste trial will have to be done.
Lastly the round melon is a Farmer's Wonderful' a seedless type.
