I'd never seen this variety of melon before and thought it would
interesting to try it, so I planted one in early May. There are several
melons that are now about 8 inches long. Can someone tell me how long
they take to mature?

80-100 days from the time you planted, leaning toward 90+ (when they
do ripen it will be pretty obvious as you the melons will go yellow,
they will *smell* ripe, and will start to slip from the plant).

I grew them once or twice years ago.
