The Melon Season


It only seems a short time since the farmers were putting the melon seedlings into the ground, in fact last time i walked round the field near us, the seedlings were only 6 inches high, yesterday i went on the same walk and the plants are lush and full of fruit with melons the size of footballs. There are fields full of creatures like this, only hope the farmers get a good market for them, as the most of the orange crop this year was left on the trees to rot.

They look delicious, do you get to take them home?

Once the crop is ready they are amazingly cheap on the street markets, but if you ask the farmer he will give you one.
