Minnesota Midget Cantaloupe
Cucumis melo. 65 days. Open-pollinated.
 
Minnesota Midget Melon is an heirloom variety originally developed by the University of Minnesota in 1948.

Compact plants, which are excellent for small space or container gardens, produce fruits that grow to around 4 to 6 inches in diameter, just big enough to make a tasty little snack!

Deep orange flesh is sweet, succulent, and juicy.
