RE: Hello Out there!

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Not speaking for the group, but for myself, I didn't answer this because I
have never grown cantaloupe vertically. I do watermelon and let everything
grow and take over the whole trellis on the theory that it needs a lot of
green to pull enough water up the vine to make a watermelon. But I do trim
all but a few fruit.

I don't think this has any 1:1 relationship with cantaloupe though.

Plus you should know that there are days when I just delete -everything- in
my mail folder. I am sure I am not alone in this. Right now I have 232
unread pieces of email. Out of those I will read ~50 and respond to ~5.
Sometimes things I should read get deleted. I have to assume that if it is
important, it will get reposted. Often I won't even look at a thread unless
it gets a few replies first. Don't ask me what my reasoning is on this, I
guess I develop curiosity by herd instinct.

Fortunately this is not my job and I can slack off if I want to...8-)
