Just a word of caution. Cantaloupes have lots of problems with heat. Sunscald is so prevalent that shade will be necessary. Honeydews are most heat tolerant of the group. Spanish types like canary and ananas do well except that varieties with dark green skin are subject to sunscald.
Yardlong/asparagus beans ar a subspecies of cowpea. grow well in southern summers. Taste is unique ( neither snap bean or asparagus). One of those that you either love or hate. I like them in Chinese dishes but not as a sub for P.vulgaris in traditional preps.
