from seeds from the library, I picked up one at the grocery the other day. The label says Sugar Kiss, Product of U.S., but not where. Google says it's grown in AZ. (Usually, the best melons we get around here each year are trucked in from Rocky Ford, CO, which is also unfortunately home to large cattle feedlots.)

It was still really hard so I left it to sit. Just now cut it open and it has to be the sweetest melon I've ever tasted, cloyingly so, almost to the point of being too sweet. Super juicy and sticky. We'll see how it is once it's chilled.

Saving some of the seeds so, if husband likes it, he can try planting it next year.
