Hi,

I am growing a cantaloupe plant . It is now starting to flower. I grew it from the seed that I got from a cantaloupe that I bought from a store. Do I need to know what type of cantaloupe it is? Are there different kinds that I need to be aware of?

Moving to Fruit and Veggie forum.

I've grown cantaloupe from store bought fruit, they did fine.
Growing from the pot though... not sure there's much chance of production...
I always set mine out in the vegetable garden.

No. Your store bought cantaloupe from which you saved seeds will be a commercial hybrid. There will be some variation in the offspring, but it will still be a cantaloupe. While there are many varieties of cantaloup/muskmelons which vary in size, netting, sutures and flesh color, Commercial varieties are normally medium size orange flesh varieties. Is your climate suitable for growing cantaloupes in fall?
