But since I've got such a long season, I replanted with cantaloupe instead. Plus, they are hardier. I'm focusing on miniature hybrids to distingish from cheap, 1 dollar melons you can find at Safeway's. Hopefully, with experience, I can try out more aromatic OP melon types next Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14215725945678731221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414505450356893387.post-80388958874404444632019-08-13T20:53:00.304-07:002019-08-13T20:53:00.304-07:00Hello Nathan,

If this is the same Nathan from Tucson, you never said how your watermelon crop went.<br /><br />So - the summer has treated me well. There is not much better in the garden than composted leaves and here I composted and used a lot of them. I have been so busy with harvesting and taking pictures that I have not had the time to do Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12461600014446853297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414505450356893387.post-53336182494354990932019-08-12T01:15:28.807-07:002019-08-12T01:15:28.807-07:00Hey Jay!

Where did you get yours? <br /><br />Have you ever tried Oriental Pickling Melons (Cucumis melo var conomom)? Genetically, they should be similar other cucumber melons and are used for a similar purpose. When I grow out more of your seeds, I'll have to compare them. <br /><br />Also, I'm thinking Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14215725945678731221noreply@blogger.com
