Hi there

I've got someMelon, Zatta (sim. To Brattoma Buana (ugly but tasty) Rare
Wonderful flavour similar to Prescott Fond Blanc but not as flat – yellowish skin with scales and greenish patches. Scalloped orange flesh?

Let me know if you are interested?

I have Prescott Fond Blanc:

& Charentais:

I also have pepinos (Solanum Muricatum) which are not actually melons but they do taste like a cross between cantaloupe & honeydew melons:

I also have Ukrainian Collective Farm Woman but you've already been offered them. All the above have been grown successfully outdoors in sunny Wales so there is a definite possibility they will grow further north.
