first time I grew cantaloupes I was covered up when they all got ripe at the same time. A friend gave me a recipe for frozen cantaloupe sorbet. I ordered a little homemade ice cream maker. Got it in 3 days, but by the time I went to harvest the melons most of them were rotting.
I am growing them again this year, but I don't put out as many plants as that first year.
The never have honeydew plants were I buy mine. Next year I think I'll get some seed and start my own.
