A little over a month ago, I blogged about the first ever
melon growing in my garden. Today it came of age. Boy, when it started to ripen, it sure went fast! Sometime between Friday and today, the skin under the netting had turned from green to yellow and a bee and an ant were both trying to figure out how to get inside it.
This one is slightly smaller than it's sibling, which should be ripe in a day or two. The vine tried to take over the whole garden, but all I got was two melons. A third one died on the vine as a baby.
Too bad these pictures aren't scratch and sniff! The odor coming from it when I brought it in from the garden was very strong. And once I sliced it open, my whole kitchen smelled like melon. It's the sweetest, juiciest, most fragrant melon I've ever eaten.
