Here is my first melon ever. Actually, I should say the first melon that I’ve ever grown that I have had the pleasure of enjoying. Some creatures have destroyed the first two. It’s probably the squirrels. They take a bite or two and leave the rest to rot on the ground. Very annoying.

It’s a Minnesota Midget. And it fits its name. This one is about the size of a baseball. There are a couple more on the vine that are about the same size. Overall, the plant doesn’t take up too much space, but production is low. And when animals steal 50% of your yield, well…
