The heat and humidity of summer is helping everything grow faster and ripen. The small Roma tomatoes are changing colors more everyday. Just this morning, the Mrs. picked two Romas and yet another cucumber. Those cucumbers are becoming a daily harvest.
But the intriguing sight in the garden is the Ambrosia cantaloupe. When it first started to grow, it looked like a small watermelon. But as you can see, the skin is looking a lot like what we're use to seeing. I would say the fruit is about two-thirds the size of a typical cantaloupe you'd find at a grocery store. But who knows what commercial farms use to create the genetically perfect fruits and vegetables we find at the grocery store.
