I'm on year 6 (I think) of saving seed from the offspring of one really wonderful cantaloupe. The appearance has drifted over the generations, but the flavor and keeping qualities are still wonderful.

I could not believe how attached I got to my plants! I was thinking of long-time gardeners like you and many of the others here who have been saving seed for some time. (Can’t eve think about how many generations grandparents you guys are! LOL!) As a newby it is just so much fun to see how it all works! I’ll be interested to see how this sweet potato does. I’ll probably start another one or two before too long and have more than one sweet potato plant this year now that I know I have a happy place in the garden for it to grow.
Still wary of squash! LOL! Looking forward to trying those T squashes of Marcella’s!
