Markon First Crop Cantaloupes and Honeydews are available. Quality continues to be a challenge in cantaloupe supplies; honeydew quality is holding up well.

• Cantaloupe quality is below normal for this time of year due to weather challenges early in the growing season
• A wet and cold spring contributed to insect pressure and increased fungus in the soil
• Humidity in California’s San Joaquin Valley is also shortening shelf-life
• Honeydew quality is very good; shelf-life is normal with fewer issues being reported
• Markon recommends ordering for quick turns
