First Harvest : CantaloupesteemCreated with Sketch.

in gardening •  7 years ago 

In my Front Micro-Garden I have a cantaloupe plant (or maybe plants) growing all over the place. With all the flowers that bloomed and with the help from a few bees, I have two cantaloupe growing and one of them was ready to pick. My wife read a tip on choosing cantaloupe, which was to pick them with a little bit of yellow, but not too much of a yellow spot. Well, about two days ago, the cantaloupe was mostly green and then it quickly changed to yellow. I was waiting for the webbing to grow all over, but I guess that is not going to happen with this variety of cantaloupe.

The result, as you will see, is a that the melon grew almost to the edge and the seed pocket wasn't very deep. The taste was definitely cantaloupe, but not very strong. Possibly, having left it out for a couple of days longer put it in the "just a tad too ripe" category.

I cut it up and put it in the refrigerator and it tasted even better this morning. Yum!

I saved a bunch of seeds to plant next year.

I liked your video. The taps trick to know if the melons are ripe I see that it is international, hehehe.

I don't think melons are native to America.
And a quick search leads me to believe that the Romans spread them around the known world.
