Hiya, I got these seeds from another gardener back in May. He said it was supposed to be a winter squash. Well, it's clearly not. Has anyone here heard of this "shark fin melon"? And what the latin name is? The vine is about 20ft long by 3ft wide! (I'm just glad my neighbour hasn't complained about it yet! lol) I've cut it open and it's has white flesh and seeds. It looks very similar to a winter melon from Chinatown. One of my friends said it actually falls apart like a speghetti squash once cooked. Anyone else tried this melon? http://www3.telus.net/garden/F1340016.jpg
Helen, I have the same in my garden here in London, UK. The "sharp fin" squash soup is delicious, but you have to spend a lot of effort to cut the squash - the skin is so hard that you need a very sharp chopper. Regards, Daniel
Hi Helen : Thanks for the shark fin melon seeds sure will get back to you to let you know how i do next spring greenlover
