The Melon

I am so proud of my first big size melon so it gets its own post. As promised here is a picture of it. Next to it a ping-pong ball for comparison.

Can't wait to pick it. Any day soon now.

It is also one of a kind because all the others were honeydew with smooth rind but this one is a cantaloupe with net pattern on its rind. I have put a plastic "tray" under it to avoid direct contact with soil and maybe to make it difficult for bugs to get to it.
