This made the whole miserable, hot, summer worthwhile.

The time had come to cut my watermelon and cantaloupe. I never grew watermelons before so this was exciting.
I couldn't have been more proud. Almost as much as giving birth to my human babies although I didn't tell my daughter I was comparing her to a watermelon. That wouldn't have been appreciated.
There are more to come, along with peppers and potatoes that I will harvest in the fall.
A very good garden this year.

Well done Ruth. Your fruit looks amazing. Great photos too.

Looks so delish, Ruth!

Speaking of cantaloupe, if ever you over-eat and are suffering with a tummy-ache after, a slice or two of cantaloupe will settle it down immediately.

In ode to your thread...

@Aunt Marg, maybe if I play that song and dance around in my garden they may grow even bigger and sweeter. If they throw me in a rubber room I'll tell them you were the one who inspired me with your Cantaloop music.

ROFLMAO, Ruth!

Your post (this one) made my day!

Hi Ruth in Jersey.... Love the watermelon and Cantaloupe. We have a problem with soil down the shore.... It's very sandy soil here..
When we moved here 45 years ago we did try planting....Then my husband decided to put a pool on the property....
We did have apple tree's...….

The watermelon looks practically seedless. And both look delicious.
