I live in Massachusetts, near the New Hampshire border so I have a
short growing season. Has anyone been able to get a melon to grow
around here? I'd like a suggestion for a variety suited to this
climate and tips on how to handle it.

How long is it usually between the last frost of spring and the first of
autumn?

What is the typical (not maximum) temperature mid afternoon in high summer?
