But maybe elsewhere is better way to grow them, this is only my point of
view.

Thanks for the tips -- we have access to plenty of manure -- well aged and
otherwise -- from the ranch down the road. And I'm not expecting bumper
crops of these melons -- only experimenting for the fun of it -- "it's the
journey, not the destination" and all that jazz. If I get a fruit or
two -- all the better!
