Those are nice varieties, but they don’t quite match up with what I need. Sugar Baby, according to the description on the packet, weighs 8-10 pounds, twice as much as I can lift with my messed-up shoulder. And cantaloupe isn’t a watermelon ;)
I do have several varieties of non-watermelon melons, I’m planning to grow Rich Sweetness 132 this year. It would cross with a cantaloupe.
Well, the sugar babies I grew didn’t get that large, but I thought you could try to cross them with a smaller one.
I know you said watermelon, but I figured you might be doing something similar with cantaloupe.
Have you ever had a vine peach? They are tiny cantaloupes that are native to North America, very mild flavor, but could be canned in a syrup and likely would pick up whatever flavor syrup you used. They also might cross with something and produce an interesting product.
