I'd never heard of those before, Cinda - they certainly sound interesting! Are you starting the seeds indoors?
I think the only new thing for me this year is 'Ambrosia' cantaloupe; I've tried melons a few times in the past without much in the way of success, this year I'm going to try planting it inside my small (7x15) hoop house. Hopefully this will be more successful than the sweet potatoes that I tried last year
