First Melon Harvest
August 20, 2008 – 11:31 pm
I harvested our first successful melon from the backyard this week. I probably let it get a bit too ripe, but the kids have declared it delicious! Surprisingly I have another one that looks like it will be bigger than this one! The melons have been really fun to grow and we will definitely be doing it again next year.
Jim also brought home a cantaloupe that a customer gave him as a tip. I guess they got to talking about melons and this customer had a backyard full of melon vines.
I am behind on fall planting - I was hoping to have stuff in the ground already but I still need to get soil for the new boxes and make a plan. Hopefully I will get that done this weekend!

That is great! It looks so delicious. I don’t have my fall planting up and going yet either. It is my goal for next week. I hope it wont be too late. Thanks for the inspiration!

Canteloupe for a tip? That is SO Mayberry.
(And, yes, I live in Mayberry, LOL.)
