We've Got Melons!!

via My Skinny Garden on 1969-12-31, 19:00:00

I planted 2 little organic Cantaloupe Ambrosia plants on May 21st. Yesterday I harvested the first 2 melons. They look pretty good to me! I mean, they meet the standard I'd set for a first ever Cantaloupe crop. Good size, no ugly mutations.I've been smelling these 2 melons every day after work. Since I don't really know the proper way to determine if a cantaloupe is ready for picking, I used my mom and best friends technique of checking for the smell of cantaloupe coming through the skin. . . .
