Melons

I'm looking forward to some fresh melon! We planted a hybrid specialty melon, Savor (F1), chosen for its smaller size and its reputation for deliciousness. Check out this description from Johnny's seed catalog: "The sweetest French melon. Unsurpassed eating quality. The small, 2 pound melons are of the classic Charentais type: faintly ribbed, with a smooth gray-green rind and dark green sutures. Sweet and aromatic, deep orange flesh."

The plants have taken over the upper corner of the garden. They're loaded with blossoms and the pollinators are busy doing their job. A few fruits are beginning to form.

I can't wait to cut into one of these beauties! My mouth is watering already!!
