Nice looking plants, is the Jerusalem cherry a perennial? Are you going to put the cantaloupe in the ground or grow in a container?

I have no idea if the cherry plant is a perennial but I know you can't eat the cherry's , they are poisonous. About the cantaloupe well I'm thinking doing it in a container because there is no good soil in my backyard , it's all rock.

this is in denver, from this summer. those are green zebra tomatoes. they were pretty damn good.

we treat our vegetables exactly like our ganja, and the difference from the homegrown and commercial is the same. i am depressed by tomatoes in stores. they are like mids tomatoes now :(

and i mean exactly like the ganja, bat guano worm castings fish hydrolysate foliars seaweed emulsion bud factor x voodoo juice.... had a 70 lb pumpkin that i left out there i never got to taste.

well i harvest mine a bit different. but yes ina week i would chop.
this is how i do mine when they are ready i take shears and cut it all off about 1 inch above ground level this way in the next few weeks you can harvest again. take a smal leaf off and do a taste test next week. thats how i harvested mine

yes it will.
this is what the harvest instructions say on my seed pack.
to harvest full sized plants snip off individual outer leafs or cut off entire plant one inch above ground level.
mabye do it both ways on differnt plants to see what you like best
