We did cantaloupes in New England this year. They came out small but unusually sweet. Just stick the seeds in hills, water, weed, watch. BTW used grow dirt makes for a good vegl garden!
Next year I'm building a hoop-house over the veg patch and maybe extend the growing season a few weeks=bigger melons.
And hey, who doesn't LOVE big melons!
