>>2165945There are no cold hardy melons, as far as I know. What you want is an early melon. Early moonbeam is a small watermelon thats supposed to be one of the quickest to grow. For cantaloupe, I hear petit de gris is an early type. The first melons I had mature this year have been kiku chrysanthemum melons(pic related). They are very mild tasting. Kind of like a mildly sweet cucumber, and about the size of a softball. Whats interesting about them is they con be grown vertically without need for support, just like cucumbers.
