5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) Best Honey Dew, November 11, 2007 Submitted by IowaGardner from Iowa "If I was limited to only one honey dew melon, the Venus would be it with no doubts. This melon produced constantly through the season so I had fresh melons all the time. The vines were vigorous and the melons were larger than advertised. They were simply delicious with firm flesh and fantastic flavor. Several weighed in excess of 10 lbs. I highly recommend this melon for anyone."

5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) a very tasty melon, August 16, 2007 Submitted by Dragonfly "I am a fairly experienced gardener, but a first time melon grower who moved from NY to Tennesee last year. Anything besides tomatoes has been pretty experimental for me this year and last, but I got these melons in a mixed melon packet. We have had an extremely dry (and hot) season this year , but these melons seem to do well with a minimum of water (and they love the heat). They have a wonderful, sweet and complex flavor, like a honeydew, but more so. And they are easy to grow. I will certainly plant them again next year and highly recommend them."
