Since reading William Woys Weaver's 'Heirloom Veg' book, I've become interested in the subject. Got these seeds via Chiltern's catalogue.

I don't think they are true preserving citron melons (either green or red seeded) but I decided to have a bash anyway.

If anyone's grown these before, I would very much like to know what happened & what they were like...

If you would like a few seeds - send me a PM with your address.

How successful are Moon and Stars under glass? Ever tried them outside?
