Littleman and I can easily knock out a whole one no problem. <---LOLz Love this.

Hope you get and ID. Sounds good!

Would you trade some seeds to me?

Does it have the netting of a muskmelon type melon? If so, I have some ideas about the possible identity.

You also might try looking at the Willhite Seed melon section on their website to see if anything there looks familiar. If you bought the melon in TX, there's a good chance it is a variety carried by Willhite.

I found it! after much googling images it is ..................

Galia
I am glad to know in case my seed ever gives me trouble. has anyone ever tried it?

yes I would gladly send you some seeds. I have some drying right now. and if I can find last years I could send you some of those too

Ok, luvncannin

How can you send me some?

Do you need stuff in trade? or will you just send me them?

no I don't need any trade. just msg me your address and I will get them out to you.

Galia would have been one of my guesses because you said it had green flesh, and Galia is the best-tasting green-fleshed melon I've ever grown. Galia is a hybrid so, when you save seed, the new generation of plants may not necessarily come true from the saved seed. However, since you got seed that gave you good fruit this year, maybe your luck will continue. Some people have successfully dehybridized hybrids and eventually have been able to stabilize the dehybridized and, at that point, open-pollinated, version after multiple generations. When you save fruit from a hybrid, sometimes you do get an F-2 (or beyond) generation that is very similar to the F-1, and sometimes you don't, so it always is risky to save seeds from hybrids since you don't know what you'll get. It is important to save some of the seeds from each year, and label them clearly, so that if the variety begins running out (losing the qualities over multiple generations that make it worth growing) then you have some older seed to sow in an effort to get back to the quality you admired in the first place. It is important that when you get a plant that produces lower-quality fruit, that you rogue it out and not save any seed from it because you want to maintain the high quality of the fruit you get from saved seeds. Galia seed, though, is offered by many companies and is easy to find for purchase if the seed you save each year begins to give you melons that aren't as good as the original ones were. Saved seed will maintain its viability longer if stored in a deep-freeze in air-tight containers.

You may have seen us talk here before about Israel and Ha'Ogen melons. Everyone I know who has grown Israel, Old Israel or Ha'Ogen has believed these varieties to be the best ones they've ever grown. I concur. So, guess who is one of the parents of Galia? Ha'Ogen is. Since you like Galia, it is likely you also would like Ha'Ogen, aka Ogen, or Israel or Old Israel melons. Of all the ones I've grown, I think that Galia, when grown in perfect weather (lots of heat so flavor can develop and not too much rainfall as the fruit matures) has the highest brix of them all. It also matures pretty early. While commercial Galia melons need to have a Brix of at least 11 in order to be sold commercially, the Brix in ideal conditions can hit the mid to upper-teens. That is one reason it is known as a dessert melon---because it is so sweet you can eat it as dessert.

The first year I grew Galia I was just in awe of how wonderful it was. I guess that's been at least a decade ago. I grew tons of different melons though, so don't grow it every year.
