I wonder if it's a hybrid, Kat.
I hope it's still ono by the time you buy yours Les.

Betty, it's so refreshing. I hope you can find um!
hmmmmm. neva noticed it befo; going check em out; tanks!
Rand, I wanna buy some more now.
From Marsha--I bought one at the 99 Cent Store yesterday. It had the same sticker as the one in your photo. I have never heard of this variety. It is very good! Tastes like a honeydew but the skin is a bright yellow. Could it be this melon? Check out this site: http://www.specialtyproduce.com/index.php?item=2236&name=Golden_Honeydew_Melon
Hi Marsha. I think it is the same. I only had the melon that one time . . . haven't seen it since. Now I'm craving it!
Make you wait about 5 days after buying. Get them super sweet. Best melon!!
Thanks for the tip, Anon!

Hi Betty, good luck with planting the seeds! Last summer was the first and last time that I tasted this melon. Hope I can find it again this year.
I just got one in a summer harvest basket and wondered what it was, so I googled it, and I found your blog....I am glad you had this entry because I had no idea what it was.
I will have it tonight after dinner. Thanks for this.
You're so welcome, T!
It's not a Golden Honeydew, it actually is a "Golden Dewlicious", it's a hybrid of a cantaloupe and honeydew, grown only by Fisher Ranch in Blythe, CA. During the right season (usually june-august) you can find them in Wal-Mart and Costco. If you get it when it's ripe, it's really sweet. And a little secret - if it isn't quite ripe when you first cut into it, cut it into pieces, wrap it up, and put it in your fridge for a day or 2. I promos it will get a bit sweeter! ;-)
