You know you're a gimp when ...

.... the space in your dresser designated for pantyhose is filled with leg apparel commonly purchased from medical supply companies.

Then you eyeball a sleeve from the O&P and think about wrapping it around your first.ever.baby.melon!  Seed started on March 1.

From Johnny's Hybrid Cantaloupe Tasty Bites F1.

Tasty Bites is an innovative new type of melon bred by crossing an ananas and a charantais. The result is a very sweet, rich, aromatic, cantaloupe-like melon with an above-average shelf life. Fruits are round to oval with an attractive netting and avg 1 3/4-2 1/2 lbs. Harvest when skin is yellowish orange and the fruits slip from the vines. Fruits ripen over an extended harvest period making this a good choice for market growers.

We are growing Burpee Pickler.  It is growing quite nicely.  Robust, energetic.  Totally taking to the tomato trellis.  Somehow this guy got ripe earlier than the older cucumbers?  How did that happen?  So this is what a cucumber looks like when it is getting ready to go to seed.

We ate it.  It was good.  A few of the seeds were too tough.  And we peeled it to eat.

Gotta keep a closer eye on those cucumbers sneaking out of their trellis to go kibitz with the tomato blossoms.
