looking to order blacktail mountain, anyone tried it ?

yes

I cant grow exotic stuff Manics, I dont have a greenhouse big enough. But I wish you well with it, I might have to come over for a taster :D

I wonder if EJ has tried? She's our proven exotica expert...remember that pineapple she grew? WOW!!! 8)

well, according to the catalogue, it was developed in northern idaho where temps drop to 43 degrees, 9" fruit and only 70 to 75 days from transplanting, think I'll give it a go.
Star, you're welcome any time  ;D

Manics - we grew these this year - wish I could comment on the fruit quality, but all 3 plants succumbed to our British summer ::)
I think that unless we have a hot, dry summer they will need some form of protection - well thats what we'l lbe trying ;D

ours will be going in the poly so the protection is sorted, we did well with sweetheart melon this year, watermelons did nothing, only produced flowers at the end of august and they were male  ::)  ;D
