I like the varieties from Twilleys seeds. Especially the 710 and the seedless types.

Once again I am going to attempt to grow melons this year.  I plan to make individual raised beds (I have a lot of black plastic culvert sections lying around) for each melon hill.  With this method, I can pretty much create the soil environment I want (mix in compost/sand/potting soil or whatever).  I also will cover the top with black plastic and start the seeds in jiffy pots in the house.

I'm hoping MAYBE this will yield me a few melons!  I have a watermelon variety (Moon and Stars) and a muskmelon variety (Collective Farm Woman). 

Any tips on melon growing would be most welcome.  Also, what are your favorite melon varieties?
