Twiams if you can get chilacayote (sharkfin melon) seeds you can try them. They grow about a foot or so overnight and good for gardeners who want to see plants that grow really quick. The fruit is edible whether it's already mature or still small. Our farm animals love the new shoots (leaves) and my children love the candied fruit (mature fruits) while small ones are used in soups.
They have vines about 50 feet long when the plant is fully grown and will climb up everything including a whole house. Ours grew all over the coconut trees and we ended up harvesting melons growing all the way up the trees. The largest melons we got was over 20 pounds and the smaller ones range from 8 to 12 pounds. ;D I think piggies would eat them too as my son gives them some fresh chunks whenever I slice up a melon to make a jar of candy.

Oooo sounds interesting, thanks for the advice jrae. I may have to try and give those a go if i can get my hands on some, i've been eyeing up my local garden centre and thinking of taking a look inside as i haven't since i've caught the 'gardening bug' hopefully i'll be able to find some in there, i think i may find alot of other things that come home with me too

Thank you, Lesley, Cherry and Peony ;D I must admit that dress really made me feel like a princess, although the hair was nice im not sure it was worth the pain , alot of back combing and very tight hair pins, and the hairspray took alot of brushing and washing out
