It looks like things are coming to end for this jungle of a garden. We've harvested hundreds, and I literally mean hundreds, of pounds of tomatoes, along with green beans, cucumbers, onions, and some carrots. We also still have a ton of pumpkins and winter squash just waiting to be plucked out of our garden.
The melons were wonderful this year. The cantaloupe were super sweet and beautiful.
We also had a few musk melons that, to me, tasted just like the cantaloupe. They were much bigger than last year and tasted a lot better too.
We only had a few watermelons and this one in particular was the biggest one that grew. It was pretty sweet though full of seeds. I think the melons may have enjoyed the heat this summer.

IMO the whole "muskmelon/cantaloupe" thing is so South Dakota. I'd never even heard of a muskmelon till we moved there!
That is funny Gretchen, Mom always calls them muskmelon. We call them cantaloupes. It must be a Midwestern thing!
Are cantaloupe and musk melon the same thing? I had never heard of musk melon either, but someone at church kept calling them musk melons, so I went with it. The melons look different but, tasted the same.
