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!

The people I know in their climat had fruits over 27 kg weight, and pure
sugar, I didn't have those big - little colder at my place, 15- 17 kg the
most.
