Seeds germinated well and grew fast I planted 3 vines and so far I have harvested 2. There are 2 more full sized ones ripening and 1 almost full size. Plus there are 3 still growing in size. On average that’s about 3 melons per vine so far. I’m so happy with them. I did have 2 that got to about 2â€-3†inches and then stopped and turned yellow. The first one I picked was probably about 3.5 pounds. It was the best cantaloupe i have ever had, it was so sweet and juicy! I have not tried the second one as I just picked it. These melons when ripe have a beautiful light orange and color to the rind. I’m not sure if my pictures do the outer color justice. They have an incredibly sweet floral scent when ripe (uncut). After picking them I put whole melon uncut in the fridge to cool it down a bit and the whole fridge smelled sweet. I highly recommend getting these seeds!

This cantaloupe is amazing it hit a record of 120F degrees here in Las Vegas and it still grew good so far. I hope it bears fruit soon. Thanks.

There are quite a few cantaloupe varieties available. I have tried 12 different kind over the last 15 years. By a large margin, these grow, and taste the best to me. Not only me, but my family, friends, neighbors, my mailman, co-workers, parents. I live in SoCal, near the beach( about 5 miles away). My weather gets hot, and humid, which is a killer from powdery mildew. These are resistant to PM, and few other diseases. Ambrosia melons get fairly big, 6-10 lbs. Juicy, and absolutely delicious. This is a musk melon variety. You'll smell them when they get golden, and easily "slip" when ripe. They store well, but that's rarely a problem. When you plant 3 mounds of 3 plants, you should harvest between 35-40 melons !! Crazy production from this gem. I fertilizer organically down 3 inches from the seed site. Then again in 2 month, with half dose with a side feed. That just means out away from the root zone under the stems. Get these, you'll love them, trust me!

I planted these seeds on June 8th, I planted a whole pack of seeds along a 4 foot section of cattle panel trellis. These seeds overgrew my allotted section, they are everywhere and very strong. I accidentally cut one of the vines coming out of the ground last week with a weedeater.Today is August 27th, we got our first 2 cantaloupes today. They are delicious!!!’. I couldn’t smell them while outside but after an hour or two inside I could smell how good they were.I harvested the seeds along with a store bought cantaloupe, if there’s a significant difference I will update. But that will be about a year from now.I said I’d do an edit so I guess I’m doing it now. I did not buy these seeds this year but I wish I would have. I am currently in September of 2024, I bought these seeds in May or June of 2023. The seeds I harvested in 2023 did not withstand the winter and were not viable for planting in 2024. The seeds I planted this year came from Tractor Supply and yielded baseball sized fruit. Super disappointed.

Must be some problems at Burped in its packaging department this past year, otherwise its a Miracle of the Botanical kind, because these melon seeds produced ( so far) 4 great long smooth flesh cucumbers, not melons despite what it said on the package. There was one thing I did note also, the pack of seeds appeared to have been opened before and then glued shut as the pack had just 6 seeds.

Every seed I planted from this pack this season sprouted and is growing which is better than I can say for a couple other brands of seeds I’ve bought in the past. They are technically producing watermelons they are just REALLY small 😂. I don’t blame the seed,this is not my first time planting watermelon and I either don’t get any plants to grow or I get the worlds tiniest watermelon so this tracks really 😂. This is the best I’ve done with watermelon to date though so I would definitely buy this brand again. One of these seasons I’ll grow a decent melon haha

Melons grew well but weren't what I was wanting flavor wise. May be a product of being a hybrid but cantaloupe was not the flavor I got. One even had a strange chemical taste to it.

First off I would like to say they did not skimp on how much seed you get! I planted all of it and I was able to produce over 500lbs of melons my first month and it’s still going strong. They are delicious, super sweet and oh so juicy. My kids and chickens love them 💕 great seeds with 96% germination rate in my batch. Totally worth it 🥰
