Melon Babies


I love melons. Really, almost anything that starts with Curcubita, because I don't like Watermelons so much. One of the Athena muskmelons that I direct-seeded as an experiment have three large ripening fruits. This is a picture of one of them about three days after pollenation, I'm guessing.


Burpee's Early Silver Line Melon
 The Early Silver Line that I started first under lights have at least six melons of this size or larger. I guess they really mean 'early'.

Two ripening Early Silver Line melons in the patch.
It's supposed to be an Oriental type (no, not Asian - Oriental). These grow crazy fast as soon as they have roots and the little nodes root to the ground. It's delicious groundcover.
