Persian melon??View attachment 188160
Here's the "whatever the heck it is" Huntaholic is talking about. Anybody have any ideas? My only guess was a loofa gourd. My grandma did like gourds for whatever reason. But I honestly have no idea.
Its nearly 3x that big now and still growing!View attachment 188160

How big will it get? I dont want to wait too long but I dont want to pick too soon either!Mush melon!
My grand father grew those. Have not seen any in a long time.
Very cantaloupe like but longer season, much larger.
Well worth the effort to continue them.
They are delicious. High in sugar and bruise easily so not successful in the markets but a great melon
Cool! This one aint gonna be far from that! I need to pick it and let the resources go to a couple others that are growing but not near as big but I dont want to pick it too soon!I have seen them as big as 16 inches long and 10 inches wide.
Could you possible spare a seed or two? I'd love to give them a try. I generally save seeds too.and some big ole yellow tomatoes that have been in the family for generations now. The yellows have been saved so long now it takes 2 tomatoes to get enough seeds to cover half a paper towel!
Sure! Send me a pm with your address and I will dry out a couple paper towels worth and mail them to you!Could you possible spare a seed or two? I'd love to give them a try. I generally save seeds too.
Nice. Just a pinch of melon between the cheek and gum.View attachment 188221
