Home Run cantaloupe seeds are an early Athena type cantaloupe with very good flavour. The vines were long and productive, with two main harvests in a greenhouse setting. Thick flesh and attractive exterior netting. Not huge fruits, but very sweet and aromatic. Growing cantaloupes at home allows you to pick the fruits from the vine at their peak of ripeness. The sugar content will be extremely high, and the depth of flavour is unlike any store bought cantaloupe you've ever tasted. For the extra effort melons require, they are absolutely worth it.
