That makes all of the difference.
Now for the when and the where.
some time ago I am not for sure when almost all of our melons we got came from Pecos or Midkiff Texas or in areas like this when in season they were always around.
You only saw the Valley garbage melons in the off season.
Now you only see the garbage melons.
I guess in the past 20 or 30 years my god how time flies the population has just sucked up everything.

If you ever see melons from this area suck them up.
These are desert melons grown out west.

They were store bought melons, by pick, I meant pick them out from the store. Sorry.

It has been a long time since I have tasted a good cantaloupe. About 3 years, I think. I had saved some seeds from one I thought was pretty good that I bought at Aldi's. I planted a bunch of those seeds, and they made really good, sweet melons. They kind of took over the whole yard, but were worth it!
