Yes a good honeydew melon earns its name! If you can smell them in the store they are usually good. Same with cantaloupe. If you can’t smell it don’t buy it.
Some decades ago I bought Afghan watermelon seeds on a whim, wondering if it was notably different. Only 5 plants grew and only one viable fruit was produced. It was so unreasonably good and I had never previously enjoyed watermelon.
You can’t beat a good watermelon, but 75% of the watermelons I’ve had weren’t a good one, so they can be a bit of a gamble.
Same with honeydew. Once you have a perfect one, 90% are so disappointing. But that perfect one… Oh my!
