Homegrown fruit

For many years, I have attempted to grow cantaloupes. I buy a seedling, plant it, and cross my fingers. Usually they die because I don't water them enough. Last year, I tried growing one up a trellis next to some cucumber plants, and a critter came through and dug the cantaloupe plant up by its roots.

This year, I tempted fate again. I started cantaloupes from seeds, planted them out in a new bed I carved out of the lawn, and hoped for the best.

And we have cantaloupes!!!!

We ate one for breakfast the other day, combined with our homegrown blueberries. What a great combination.

Almost ripe!
