     worms love melons/melon peels, but i only have ten   
   buckets and can't possibly keep up with 30 or more   
   melons (my last count for six plants).   
      
     the other day i was out checking the bean gardens   
   to see which were ready to pick (as dry beans).  i   
   looked over and saw a melon that had formed between   
   two large rocks.  it was more ripe and i could even   
   smell it so i picked it to see how it was.   
      
     it was excellent, perhaps a few more days and it   
   would have been perfect.  flavor is not quite the   
   same as a standard cantaloupe/muskmelon - it has   
   hints of cotton candy flavor.  very good.  i'm sure   
   i'll have a ton of seeds.   
      
     i have to learn somehow.  :)  the first one i picked   
   way too green, it was barely edible in the center.   
   this second one was fully ripe in the center and only   
   a bit hard along the edges.   
      
     i'm going to have to give a lot of these away!
