Love this video! My passion with melons is just sprouting because of a honeydew that came up in my papas cantaloupes he planted last season. It was a small, creamy white melon about the size of a softball that came right off when I grabbed it out of between the tomatoes and grass it was growing in. Very sweet and musky. Now I have like 3 different types of melons I’m going to try to grow that I bought off of true leaf market. Good luck with your gardening👍
This is all so exciting!! I have some landraces on the go. Can't wait to liberate people with seeds that just grow and taste amazing. Boring boring old supermarket food be gone
Hi first of all thank you so much for this video. It inspired me so much that I want to try this experiment here in Belgium. Can you elaborate more on how you do this? Kind regards Robby

Planting saved seed year after year will eventually result in highly inbred fruit or new cultivar. I'm doing similar with melon, but mine didn't start as cantaloupe only. When I selected for best melons, including taste, the genes tightened. That's how it goes and I'm quite fine with an eventual new cultivar that's inbred. Mine are fairly close now and somewhat consistent.
Got your book. Life changing. Thank you very much.
Fascinating!
Great info

Are your seeds available?
So I see you made a new variety of cantaloupe you should give them a name
