I've wondered that too on the location if it made a difference in taste. Those are pretty good prices. mmmmm fresh cantalope (and watermelon) can't be beat!
We grow many varieties of winter squash each year. Sweet Meat does have a wonderful flavor. A new one for us growing this year was Tennessee Sweet Potato. A couple weeks ago one had a growth spurt and started to split, so I picked it. A few nights later I sliced, peeled, diced it... then fried it in butter (just like regular potato's) My family actually stated they liked it better than regular potato's. I didn't think I would ever hear those words.
