Next year I will start the cantaloupe indoors early, and we'll build a little greenhouse for it like we did the peppers. It wasn't hot enough, and they needed more time to grow. That's why we didn't get much of a crop this year.

Garden produce
This is the first of the garden produce. I've been watching the cantaloupe, hoping they'd grow big and sweet. This is the biggest one, but it was only about the size of, well, I'm not sure. It was about 6 inches in diameter though. There wasn't a whole lot of fruit, but it smelled and tasted pretty good.

That's pretty cool, Holly. I didn't know you could grow melons over there. You should be able to plant watermelon, too, if you can give it a head start like you mentioned. ♥
Isn't that fun to think you grew that yourself? We've been eating up cantelope daily hoping to use it all up before the frost came. Ginger loves cantelope but I can't let her have too much or she'll have a super messy diaper. hahahaha
