    for the first of the season, I thought it was very good and so did everyone else. It is almost all gone now.

    Ambrosia, aptly named! That looks delicious, and I'm glad it lived up to expectations. And that was only the first!

    Yummy Carolyn. I love melons and can't wait for ours to get ripe. For the last 3yrs we have planted "Little Sweeties" from Jung seeds. I'm not crazy about them being a hybrid though. But I am crazy about how they taste. They are just big enough for one person to eat and are so very sweet. They definitely live up to their name. Has anyone else ever tried them? :stew1:
