Beautiful melons and watermelons from Seed Savers Exchange! I love putting a concoction of sugar, lime juice and mint leaves on watermelon. It's like eating a mojito. Yum! It might be fun to puree some watermelon to make a pitcher of watermelon juice. Or watermelon mojito! Even yummier! As far as cantaloupe type of melons go, prosciutto and grapes pair very well with it. It can also be pureed for a nice summer cold soup. If you want to grow melons, the basic way it works is to make a mound of dirt and stick 5 or 6 seeds in, water and let the vines go crazy. Just be sure to leave a lot of room for them to grow. I've heard that growing melons on that black landscaping fabric helps keep them from rotting.
