Gang:

Well why looking through old Pomonas for Donna I did determine that Melons
are a NAFEX approved topic as at least one discussion was printed in Pomona
in April of 1981.

In an article entitle “A Melon For Northern Gardeners” David Imes who lived
about a quarter mile form the Canadian Border in Minn experimented with
growing 30 varieties of melons, direct seeded outdoors. He found one winner,
a melon known as Early Dawn. So for colder climate growers it looks like you
have a melon with potential to run some trails with in the future.

Regards,

Lil ol' me
