Charentais Melons

This French melon is a true cantaloupe, almost smooth with no netting. Green skins blush yellow-tan when ripe; fruits emit a memorable redolence. Harvest at half-slip (they pull off with a moderate tug) and bring inside for a day or two for best flavor. Don’t wait till full slip—they’ll be over-ripe.
