Rocky Ford Cantaloupe is a legendary Colorado heirloom with green-tinted flesh and a delicately sweet flavor accented by warming notes of clove and other spices that distinguish it from standard orange-flesh cantaloupes. The thin, delicate skin makes it a genuine rarities in commercial markets but an absolute treasure in the home garden, where you can harvest it at peak ripeness and experience the full, sophisticated flavor that made Rocky Ford, Colorado famous for its melons in the late 19th century.
