Hi Naomi,
I grew a 'Santa Claus' melon from Johhny's 6-7 years ago. I wasn't aware that I'd gotten a fruit until after a frost killt the vines. It was white fleshed and quite perfumed when I cut into it (the only one) a few weeks later. I think that 'Piel de Sapo' (toad's skin) is similar. Although I am in ideal melon territory for being this far north I find that I accidentally trample melon vines during the season and end up with few fruit for the effort. There's a melon grower just down the road from me who has a really nice product. I just have to stick my head in the sand when I see the crop dusters flying over his fields.

PS Thanks for the kind words a couple weeks back.

I am in the grip of Seed Catalog Fever. I am thinking about planting winter melons but I do not know how to keep them properly into the winter. Also would welcome suggestions on good tasters and good keepers.
