To go off in a tangent with Dayna, kabocha squash grows REALLY well in upper HPP - as in it takes over the world!
I tried watermelon 2 years ago and actually harvested a small one, but it did not get good care. I plan to try again this year.
Cucumbers got wiped out after a few were harvested. Melons did not even get to flower. I am waiting on them until I get a screen house built. Supposedly, if you cover the plants with 3/4" mesh bird net, it keeps the adult moths away, but lets the bees in to pollinate.

Finally in HPP
