Hi Liz, Any one who ridicules you or me for trying out different things are fools. I was looking for seedless watermelon seeds when I found a package of Banana Melon seeds. I had never seen or heard of them before. So I bought them. Just to see what they will be like. I have some very nice plants growing right now with several melons on each. They look like a long canteloupe. Can't wait to try them. My county agent always suggests recomended varieties and adds try something new or different on a small scale to see how it works. She wants me to let her know what my results are. Rachal gardens in the same way, and lets us know what her results are. Happy Gardening, Allen Zone 8
