These french beauties are amazing! They are super fragrant - we grew them in a high tunnel on the Vernon site and just walking up the farm you would be overwhelmed with the sweet smell. Unfortunately, they didn't taste all that wonderful. We think it's because they were over watered and should have been pruned down to one leader. When we went out to Michael's farm on Salt Spring we tried some of his and oh goodness, they were delicious!
I learned from a Parisian chef that used to come buy from us at the Granville Farmer's Market that you should pick a melon that both smells sweet and has a soft spot at the blossom end of the fruit. He would come each week and pick up each one, smelling and gently squeezing.
