There are several stories about the origin of Indian Cream Cobra rockmelons. Suffice to say, this variety is very old indeed and still worth growing today. The fruits are shaped like fat cucumbers, and the creamy skin encloses sweet, green flesh. One of the best things about them is the fact that the skin splits a little when they are ripe - no more guesswork at harvest time!
