I'm growing a few plants (Ramallet Algaida and De Colgar 100, both for seed production) under less than ideal conditions (lows in the 40s, highs in the 80s sometimes) and they are doing well.

So perhaps challenging them towards the end of the season is a possibility.

The best tasting one I've tried thus far is De Colgar Papuo, a beautiful PL plant, prolific, putting out salmon colored 1.5-2.5 inch diameter, good fresh but much better after a month or two, especially spreading it on a slice of bread, just as Ilex recommended.

Dutch has a nice pic of a row of them on CRW

Oh cool description! Can I ask where you got your seeds for De Colgar Papuo? It sounds like something I want to try (also trying storage melons this year) and I'm about to order my seeds for the year.
