Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

WHERE THE DEER AND THE CANTALOUPE PLAY
We do see lots of deer but this is just a photo of the cantaloupe in our garden. This one will soon be ready for pickin' and eatin'. Antelope you say? Oh well..........
I'm more of a honeydew person myself, but I could probably force a few bites down. We had some goooood watermelon the other day. MAN it was READY, as my grandpa used to say.
Hi Annie, Something around here eats the cataloupe that gets to that stage. It's either the deer, or oppossums, or skunks or something. What ever it is it needs shot. The read the diary below. Now that right there is funny. Just like a woman to to read so much into something. (I had to say that to defend the men out here who didn't respond)
Oh wow, thats a nice big one! I have never tryed to grow fruit..not sure if we could even grow that here in quebec...but I do have tomatoes and cucumbers with a few other things, I just blogged pics of my flowers this week lol.
jamie dawn and OGO, give cantaloupe a chance. It all depends on finding the perfect one to get you started, then you are hooked for life.
Cliff, my husband says you probably have coyotes in your cantaloupe and once they find you, they remember you forever. He thought coyotes were getting his cantaloupe because they needed water so he planted next to the creek. They still ate the cantaloupe.
moon and jean mac, I am sorry you cannot grow cantaloupe and you're welcome to come here and enjoy ours.
Yep, Monica, mmmmmmmmm is right!
And yes, everyone, I finally see that I have misspelled cantaloupe.
Thx for the compliment. The story of my suspended blog is too long to go into, and there are aspects that are somewhat unpleasant, plus the fact that no one was reading it!!! LOL
I find it more fun to read the blogs of others and leave silly comments.
That will be great when it's ripe and ready for picking! Nothing better than fresh produce from the garden and canteloupes are so good!
ReplyDeleteWhat preparations are made from it? I don't remember seeing something like this back in my country, or maybe there is.
ReplyDeletethat is a pretty big cantelope! Do the deer mess with the garden?
ReplyDeleteYum! What a nice change from an avacado tree...and citrus. That's all I have in my garden.
ReplyDeleterachel, we are hoping these will be good. This is the first year we have planted cantelope.
ReplyDeleteanil p, cantelope is a melon, very sweet and delicious cold. It is a golden pinkish orange color inside.
dianne, that is actually a pretty small cantelope. No, the deer can't get to it because our garden is fenced to keep my chickens out of it.
scarlet, let me trade you some cantelope and tomatoes for some avacados!

ReplyDeleteWitty title -
ReplyDeleteI can't seem to grow cantaloupe.That's a nice one. What's your address, again:)
I'm not a cantaloupe fan but I enjoy growing things so I'm excited for you! I love seeing the changes in my garden from day to day.

That's some pretty impressive agrarian photography. always remember "if you cantaloupe, you have to have a big church wedding."
ReplyDeleteKitty you are so clever why did you quit blogging?
