peach vine. I have some of those seeds, but never tried growing them. You have given me an incentive to try them. Are they edible.

Strange melon

They are not really peaches - don't know why it's called that - but they are ripening. They are edible Dor & Ayla - it's a small melon - supposed to taste like a cross between mango & honeydew. I'll let you know after they are ripe & I try one. I plan to save seeds from these & try to grow more than one vine next year.

I could spend weeks on here looking at everything. Can you eat that?

[img_assist|nid=7881|title=Climbing Peach Vine|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=143|height=170] My little melons are coming along. Have one vine planted in a pot on the porch and it has surprised me by setting several fruits! I have counted 8 so far!
