Melon in Minnesota



Yes, this is a cantaloupe grown in Minnesota. Yes, it's small compared to the ones in the grocery stores. For size, that's a quarter next to the melon. This variety is "Minnesota Midget" from Pinetree Garden Seeds. It's just as delicious as a full-sized variety but matures more quickly, sixty days according to the seed packet. They mature more slowly in my flirts-with-shade garden, but they're worth the wait!
