Hi,
We've been growing the personal size mini melon for a few years now. We grow the seedless varieties. We like extazy and vanessa. extazy seed can be a little difficult to find. You also will need to grow a seeded, or pollinator variety as well. Judging maturity is a little tougher too.The seed is also very expensive.
These varieties of melon will reach about 5 pounds on average.
We start all of our seedless melons in the greenhouse. The seed doesn't seem to perform well, at least for us if we try and direct seed.
