Cantaloupe and Honeydew Melons are right around the corner.
 |
| For food safety purposes, each cantaloupe melon is placed on a styrofoam platform. |
 |
| Fruit is sizing well and vines are vigorous. |
 | |
| Healthy vines mean strong fruit. You will notice 4 tiny indentations on our melons, due to the positioning of the fruit on the styrofoam platform. |
 |
| Honeydew sizing will start out large. |
 |
| Honeydew fields are healthy. |
