Pod -- I know I'd never survive in the heat of the summer down south; other than the fact that you don't have to put on 50 pounds of clothing when you DO go out, summer in the south is worse than winter up here as far as I'm concerned. And you're right -- it's quite amazing how much stuff we can grow, even if watermelons aren't our best crop... I tried growing a couple of artichoke plants one year (!) which made pretty darn impressive plants but no flower buds to eat (there's always at least one more or less weird thing going on in my garden
)
