     the melons here are still green and shiny so i think i   
   have some time yet before we start to try them.  i've had   
   to read up on them since i've not grown these particular   
   melons before (plus i've not grown melons much at all to   
   begin with since my first few attempts ended up giving   
   such poor results).

   I'm looking forward to an end to all this heat and humidity.   
      
     yeah, the hot weather has made things difficult for us   
   this season too in varying ways.  mid day siesta and AC   
   are pretty much required now.   
      
     be careful out there!  make sure to drink enough water   
   and to not overdo it.  i'd wait for cooler weather since   
   you already have enough put by.
