Unlike traditional cantaloupes, these small, peach-sized melons have a low sugar content and a dull, bland flavor. These heirloom melons were historically grown to be pickled or preserved, not eaten raw. Vine peach plants usually grow about 1 foot tall, with vines that extend up to 10 feet long.

What are soil blocks? I first learned about soil blocks after watching The Real Dirt on Farmer John movie. He uses them to start seeds and then I saw that Eliott Coleman recommends them. A block of soil is made and with the right mix will hold together during plant root growth. Once the roots grow into it, it will be more solid. It eliminates the need for flats, peat pots, paper pots and any other pot which can get root bound. In the soil block, roots will air prune and not go beyond outside.
