It's our first ever, home-grown cantaloupe! We had some left-over seeds when we planted our garden, and I let the kiddos plant them in the front dirt that will one day be over-flowing with beautiful flowers, not even thinking that they would survive. I was surprised to see a cantaloupe vine growing and even more surprised a month or so later when there was a cantaloupe on the vine! It's taken a very long time for it to ripen, but it finally did! And it's delicious!
The funniest part is that the cantaloupe that we planted in our actual garden never took off, and still has no cantaloupes on the vine, which finally started growing about a month ago. Now we'll see if the other cantaloupes have time to ripen, before the cold weather comes and never leaves.

My neighbor was telling me that melons need the hottest part of the garden. She plants hers next to pavement. Maybe that's why the one in front grew better.
