Don't your worms like these things?

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!

I am envious! I can't grow a melon for my life!

Then again, I can only eat three tablespoons of melon
a day do to my blood sugar, so it might be a good thing.
