Again and Anew

Oh, no!

Well, I'm not sure I've got a Diplomat here but since Passport galia melons look like cantaloupe on the outside, there is only one way to know for sure.

So, now I have to convince myself that it's time to cut into them. I'll have to go back and see if this is the earliest for a melon from my garden. I'm fairly sure it is. Some 3 weeks before frost is about the earliest I can count on for Passport.

I bet I'm not the only one expecting more than 3 weeks before frost . @ninnymary , a January frost for you??

We usually get frost in April. But it's only for a few nights.

Diplomat Galia ... I already know, by sniffing at them , that the other 2 are Goddess Cantaloupes.

Yum, Steve. Ya'll should be sharing here. I can't even smell them although they certainly do look good.

Those are nice melons Steve, but those flowers are gorgeous! What are they?

Strawberry flowers.

Congrats on the fabulous crop this year ... Big melon envy here too!
Are the diplomat like Honeydew, flavor-wise?

 

[digitS']

Yes, honeydew.

Maybe not the typical, soopermarket honeydew ..

. not rock-hard, anyway.

Steve, the only good thing about me not being able to grow melons is that I can sure find some great ones here! I love melons and buy 3-4 different types each week. They are super sweet!
