sling for melons

[havi]

Just a little off topic..did you know that melons will grow to the shape of something? Such as a box.. What you do is make a clear see-through box and let the melon grow to the size of it. They do this a lot overseas. Its easier to fit in the frig and to store them. I keep telling myself Im gonna try this but never get around to it. Im such a procrastinator!

Wow! When I look at the picture of that behemoth (imagine how many square meals you could get!) watermelon and compare it with my late season, still optimistic butternut squash hanging in there, it's hard not to feel a little melon-choly.
