Well that's a good idea. Trouble is I don't have a big yard. I live in
the
city and my "garden" is 5' x 5' (think more along the lines of kitty
litter
box) so I have to get it right the first time, or my 5 measly
watermelons
won't work out. My wife tells me to just go to the store and buy a
watermelon. I'm starting to think that's a good idea. I'll buy some
watermelons and place them in my garden, and tape the vines to them.
That's
not cheating is it?

Forget the melons, grow tomatoes. Much nicer. Or peppers. Or grow
something you can't buy easily. A heritage fruit maybe, fresh greens,
or get a log and grow mushrooms :-)

Hey that's a good idea. I like mushrooms.. the edible kind, I think they
were called Morel mushrooms but they only grew in the mid-west. I made one
heck of a pizza with 'em. But nothing grows here except crab grass, oranges,
grapefruit, and cactus. I'm about ready to move back to the mid-west just so
I can get something to grow... I used to have a 2-acre garden and the only
problem was keeping the deer out of it.
