Zatta Melon

[SunkenCiv]

I couldn't get Zatta melon seeds last year, but plan to order early for 2007.

The reason I've started a fresh topic (besides the guidelines around here) is that the Stokes seed catalog arrived a week ago, and this week I got the Totally Tomatoes catalog. Next, if history is any guide, will be Thompson and Morgan.

We're on the same mailing lists! Got my Seymour Seeds catalog a few days ago. Lots of hard-to-find flower seeds in that one.

I wish I was physically able, I miss my garden. The local agriculture center is just up the road, I about live there in good weather.

Strawberry Watermelon 2g seed -- 85 days. [Selected from a Florida heirloom by Walt Childs and introduced by SESE in 1989.] 'Strawberry' is an excelílent garden variety waterímelon with intensely colored, strawberry-red flesh which ripens to within 1/2" of the rind. The texture is delicate and the sweet flavor is outstanding, distinctive, and the best we offer. The melons are long (8 x 20"), dark green, with darker green stripes. Fruits have fewer seeds and range between 15 and 25 lbs. Disease resistance is very good. 2 g Limit 2 Packets.

Hey, I'm not sure I'd heard of Seymour, will check it out online in a minute. :')

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks!

I'm still searching for sources of Cob Melon seed.

Just a logo idea for a non-existent ping list.

[fatima]

If you start a ping list put me on SunkenCiv.

[SunkenCiv]

I'm not going to, but this topic was started with that kinda in mind. :')

[fatima]

OK:)

[SunkenCiv]

I'm hoping that the existence of a nice lookin' logo will provide the needed incentive for someone else to start one on cooking and gardening, both of which are of interest around here (well, and anywhere). :')

[fatima]

I got you:).I am getting hungry just looking:)We have a very large flower garden front and back.I used to do flower's from seeds.That was fun.

Howdy....

My family and I are new to gardening. I've been studying up on "Square-foot gardening" and we want to start a garden this year. Has anyone here had any experience with this type of gardening? Any tips would be great. We also want to use a lot of different heirloom seeds also and any advice on that would be great as well. Thanks.
