coming along nicely LG!!!!.
So tell me, are cantaloupe melons the same thing as cantaloupe squash? I saw some for the first time in my local supermarket and they were called Cantaloupe Melons? Can you guys clarify for a dumb European? cheers. Are they sweet like a melon, or more like a squash that you can make soup or something from? cheers again. DST

Cantaloupe are melons, in the same family as squash, but they are extremely sweet and juicy. I like to cut them in half, and use the halfs as bowls for cottage cheese

Well my surprise is ready so feel free to check my journal out. I had a little to much fun taking pics with my camera but it did a hell of a job.

I have been told that they only grow well in warm weather... I dont know if it is too cold where you are or not, but all that talk of gray skies yesterday made me wonder.thanks Bill. I'll maybe give one a bash then. Perhaps get some seeds for next year as well
I would suggest you buy some to taste though if you have never had one, as they are frikkin delicious!!!

Cool, perhaps they would be good to grow in the greenhouse instead of outdoors. I will def try to pick one up to taste it though. Cheers peeps.

So McP, I promised you beautiful bootilicious tomatoes and what not, and here I am posting a phallic like cucumber, sorry mate. But it was damn tasty (I do like me cucumbers!) I had a pretty simple salad with this, my red iceberg, some gouda cheese, and some of the same type of tomatoes I am growing, with a bit of Scottish smoked salmon and cream cheese on bread. Balsamic vinnegar, olive oil and lemon as a dressing, then seasoned. That was my dinner and it was great. Wife was out with her pals so I thought I would treat myself to the salmon, hehe.

Wanna borrow my camera? jk. That looks really good. I'd love to grow my on cucs and other stuff to make my own pickles. I watched a show called Till Debt Do Us Part and a guy does photography and he made $900 on taking photos for a wedding. I might took into that to make some money since I plan on getting more gear.

Unfriendly animals. A couple days ago a cougar killed a guy's dog and attacked him when he was trying to save his dog and it happened 1 to 3 min drive from here depending how busy it is.

Here the laws about having a gun is strict. If the LED lights does very well compared to CFLs I'll change over to cover more area and use less power.
