How flattering! Actually, i didn't think about it too much, just grabbed an old chopping block from the kitchen, and my camera. I shot them under the deck umbrella on an overcast day, so that helped diffuse the light. Then the sun started to come through the haze, and it started to get too bright. The real challenge was trying to keep the Yellow Jacket Wasps off of the freshly cut fruit.

I noticed that you’ve created a supportive mechanism for a couple of melons. Could that possibly stunt their development and growing into full size?

By the way, your pictorial additions to your blogs are terrific.

I do like how you spend the time to get good photos as it makes reading your blog a pleasure. How different was the 1802 melon variety to grow compared to todays cultivars?
