We have a ripe melon! My first ever melon from my garden (ever)!

Ripe melon on the scale weighs 132 g (4.7 oz)

But it is very small. The description said the melons would be 2 pounds. This one is only 15% of that. I saw it stop growing, then begin to ripen and wondered if it would taste good at all. I needn't have worried. The melon was amazing. The smell was wonderful and the taste was better than any cantaloupe I've ever had. It was ripe enough to scoop from the rind, leaving little waste, which was good because we each only had two tiny slices.

Aspire melon seeded, scooped, and sliced

The description also said that the vines would set fruit all at once, but mine don't do that either. I planted three mounds at the same time, and those vines continue to produce flowers and set new fruit. After I lost two globes to mischief and insects, I had two more start to develop. Interesting.
