ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, AND ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE. The effect of alcohol use on AD may be modified by other concurrent factors, such as tobacco use. Tobacco and alcohol use are related: smokers drink and drinkers smoke (National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism [NIAAA] 1998).
Juicy cantaloupe melons are typically grown from seed, started indoors or directly in the bed. In mild coastal U.S. Department of Agriculture hardiness zone 9, for example, cantaloupe is sown indoors in late March for transplanting in early May. Saving your own seed from fresh melons allows you to grow your favorite variety, but you must prepare the seed for saving in the fall and store it until the spring planting day. Starting cantaloupe indoors also requires careful preparation to prevent root damage during transplanting.
Because of its vining nature, cantaloupes can be trained to grow up a trellis. It saves space and helps keep the fruit off the ground. The challenge is keeping the fruit secure while itâs hanging in the air. Cantaloupe plants canât naturally support their own heavy fruit if grown this way. With a little ingenuity, the home gardener can still make it work. People who trellis their cantaloupe usually make little bags or hammocks out of fabric or even old pantyhose to help support the growing fruit.
