So I bought a very ripe cantaloupe today. It was delicious by the way and there's still half of it in the fridge. I scooped out the seeds as I was cleaning it and thought "what if...". So I grabbed a few seeds and cracked them open with the front of my teeth. They had plump seeds inside. They taste good by the way, similar to a pumpkin seed. So I threw a bunch of the seeds in a glass of water and kept on filling it up and emptying the water and pulp fragments until it ran clear. They're drying on a linen towel now and will for a few days.

While cooking dinner tonight I came across this blog and it's encouraged me to try it out. What have I got to lose apart from time?

You'll have to find the various posts but she or he has charted it rather well. The end result was tasty apparently.

I've got what looks to be 80 or maybe 60 seeds. Even with a 65% germination rate I'm looking at a lot of plants.
