actually melons grow fine here in Eastern ma, we have honeydew and watermelon too, forgot to mention those. Just make sure they have plenty of water and are each planted in their own individual mound about 3 feet accross by a foot high or so.

To all you carrot growers out there: leave em in as long as you can. If you can wait til it's right on the edge of frosting they will be SUPER SWEET. We forgot a row 2 years ago and picked em late in December when there was actually snow on the ground. Got about 30+ pounds out of 1 ten foot row. The suckers grow close together if you let em. Just don't expect em to look like store bought unless you put in a deep layer of sand about 3 inches below the top soil.
