We’re overwhelmed with everything. I planted Minnesota mini Cantaloupes. The only bad thing is they ripen pretty much all at once. But what a wonderful experiment. They’re the size of grapefruit...perfect for one.
I love those Minnesota Midgets. I am hoping to get a few this summer—we have a huge problem with any of the cucumber or melon vines-but I thought these might have a shot at maturing before the vines die.
I grew some several years ago and they were pretty tasty.
Here in Pennsyltucky I love to cut a lope in half, apply salt and pepper to it and then fill it up with a mound of vanilla ice cream. But alas, for decades now, nearly every time I go for that I find the lope to be flavorless, semi-pithy and a disappointment. Why don’t lopes have their deep musky flavor and melt in your mouthany more? (Facepalm).
