RIP... my sweet

See the big one? This particular melon vine in my garden had several of these little melons sprouting, but only the biggest one continued to grow as the other ones shriveled in the heat this summer. I didn't photograph her after this date, but she was more than half the size of a full grown cantaloupe melon, when her vine of origin met an untimely end... She made it through the hottest summer on record in Texas... only to be weed-whacked to death. :( Kevin was sorry, though he didn't come right out and confess UNTIL I found the lifeless melon and began blaming the neighborhood rabbits for the death of my little fruit. Sad.
