It’s unusual, it’s cute, and it’s a cantaloupe. That’s the best way we can sum up this remarkable melon variety, which produces fist-sized melons. Though small in size, they are big in flavour. As an extra advantage, the smaller fruits of Minnesota Midget can develop and ripen faster than most. It’s a variety that won’t suit commercial producers, but it’s perfect for home gardeners who will love the vine-ripened sweetness and convenient size.
