They are sweet, they are nutritious. My friend has this farm filled with melons, three types actually. They have been planting watermelon, then honeydew, and now canary melon. And last year, we picked up some. Canary melon is not that common yet here in our community, since they are more familiar with watermelon and not all farmers are into planting these hence the price per kilo is more than a dollar. Little did they know canary melon as a lot to give aside from the taste. Rich in vitamins A and C, good source of dietary fiber too. Canary, can be a good thing to have.

I have never had that kind of melon before except for things it is used in, such as melon candies and such. They look so good!

I like melons and I tried to grow them several times, but our temperature is never warm enough to grow them.

@Lucky15 We have a very short summer, the time to see the small melons, the cold is back and they die.

they indeed prefer to grow in a country like us, where it is warm, but not really during this month,

Never heard of this variety of melon before. Melons during winter is surely a rare crop.
