I was expecting this melon to have green flesh, but it was orange!
I did have some Rocky Ford seeds. Could this be Rocky Ford? I didn't think it was netted enough.

It was small but DELICIOUSLY sweet.
DD's loved it.
DH said, "It tastes like cantaloupe, I don't like cantaloupe."
DD: " ...but he's still eating it... He finished it."
DH: "I don't like cantaloupe, but this one tasted good."

We had the biggest one of these today.
I didn't weigh it -- I thought I posted about it when it was harvested, but maybe I didn't. This is the one that had started to split. The crack looked deep and blackened, so I was really worried, but maybe it helped that I sprayed into the crack with alcohol when I first brought it inside. When I cut it open, the crack was mostly superficial and there was corky brown area in the inner rind that didn't appear to have allowed bugs or mold to get inside.

The fruit was DELICIOUS -- sweet and aromatic
We marveled that it tasted sweeter as we got closer to the rind and the green flesh next to the rind was super sweet.

...I really think this must be some kind of a cantaloupe..?

It sort of looks like Baker's Creek's Ananas D'Amerique a Chair Verte (this is the variety I thought these were.).....

...but the inside flesh is supposed to be green....

Here's a seed packet image from the web. This looks similar to mine a bit... But mine still has more orange flesh....
