Cult of the Melon or ‘Feria du Melon’ is a Charentais type from the Middle Ages up to 1920, known for a thin skin with light green-grey stripes, bright orange, extremely sweet flesh, and an intense scent. Cult of the Melon is a small to medium sized melon with an incomparable fragrance, and musky, sweet flavor underneath an attractive pale green, greyish blue marbling rind design. Cult of the Melon cultivates history, personal sized and shareable portions, unique flavors unlike North American cantaloupes. This is the first seed saving endeavor from my very first garden when I was 19. Saving seeds throughout my many seasons here in Tennessee, has better adapted this French variety to our Southern environment, and culture.
