My melon plants are looking really scrawny still. The cool, wet weather has not been good for them. They’ve ended up buried beneath tall corn or rampant squashes. But this week is finally perfect melon weather - 90*F and full sun. Fruit is setting. But it seems late to me and I’m wondering if any will have time to ripen.

The real farmers have plenty of melons already. I had a very nice melon from Picadilly Farm (NH) last night. The good news is I’ve discovered another delicious martini! Perfect for the hottest days of summer. Cheers!
