I'm growing 8 different melons. I bought seed. I doubt I will ever buy more, no need. As each packet comes with way too many, and I will save seed. They probably will cross, but then I'll have a melon nobody else has. The plants need a lot of room forming large multiple branched vines. Melons are now forming. The challenge is going to be trying to figure out when ripe!

Brenda, I am interested. Just let us know when. I have Trombone squash, Asclepias curassavica and several varieties of Salvia seed that I recently harvested, just to name a few.

Hi everyone, Anybody want to join the swap? So far 17 people have signed up for the swap in round robin group. The title is "freshly harvested seed swap". It is the last call. If interested please sign up now. Thanks Jasmine

I sure know how you feel. Stoney, look at that time as a gift. We don't always get that special extra time with our grown "kids." I know you'll miss him, but be proud of him because he has pulled himself up with love and support from the family, and that is really special. 3-1/2 hours is not so much, and you can see him often. You could even both drive and meet mid-way for an afternoon or whatever. Our sons visit often, but I always feel a tiny bit of sadness in a corner of my heart when they go. But here's a HUG for you because you are feeling sad. Glad things are turning out ok for your DS. Susan
