Well, I'm back at home full-time, and back in the garden. This was a harvest from over a week ago, probably the last really big harvest of the summer. The peak of the tomato season is over. Still plenty of fruit on the vines, but nothing like what it was 3 weeks ago.
The cabbages came in, and the banana melons are ripening one by one.
Some of them are really ugly on the outside, kinda twisted and gnarled-looking.
However, the insides are gorgeous, soft, and sweet. They taste just like regular cantaloupe.
Last week I picked this monster banana melon. My mother took a picture of me holding my baby. Can you see the resemblance?
I sliced big boy open and attacked him with an ice cream scoop. He produced about 2/3 gallon of ripe fleshy melon balls. I was so proud.
