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!
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . Any gardeners? (other than pot) I'm starting a small fruit orchard and vegetable garden. The land is just about prepared and waiting for spring. I've already ordered 2 apple, 2 peach, 2 cherry, 2 apricot, and 2 plum trees. I also plan to grow watermelons, musk melons, strawberries, tomatoes, sweet peppers, green beans, and, well, a little bit of everything. I also grow roses, just because they look nice and smell nice. My favorite rose is "Just Joey." Anyone recommend a reliable website for ordering heirloom seeds? Rating: 5
