Thanks so much. I bought cantaloupe plants at the farmer's market, but they turned out to be canary melons. Mine are almost ready to harvest. Now I know what to look for. I think one of them might be ready.

cali kim!! 😍

Super cute couple!

Thank you for harvesting tips. :)

LOVE THE MELONS HARVEST AND THE TRELLIS

that looks so good. Congrats for being able to harvest with the unforgiving heat weather. Great job both of you.

Yum yum yum! It is torture for any CG to be filming food I'd say. CG must have been eager for you to say goodbye so he can eat some more of those gorgeous, mouthwatering melons!

I have never had a canary melon full slip, and I usually let them ripen more than the ones you picked, unless the weather is uncooperative.

I'll send you dills atlantic giant pumpkin seeds in your po box so can you like...make a haul on YouTube

Did u use the seeds ?

awww...you both are just to cute...and ...you guys make food look and sound soooooo good...lol...our watermelon plants died and our cantilope plants got eaten by our dog Zero....you guys are great..we love ya both

I've never grown a Canary Melon before!!! I want to try now! Thanks for the inspiration!

great vid

4:14 .....Oh, ok. Because the whole time I was thinking about my watermelons & how these tips didn't quite jive with how they ripened.
Although I also like&respect chilled fruit, there is something compelling to me about fresh-picked sun-warmed fruit (that would normally be enjoyed chilled). I LOVE eating melons/tomatoes/cukes warm from the vine, just as much as I enjoy them chilled. And my body responds to reiterate that I'm getting the most nutrients that way. I always feel full&satisfied but much 'lighter' after enjoying them that way -- like after a salad or something.

Great video. Imma have to check out the watermelon one (unless you were referring to the one you've already made, in which case I've seen it :P)

We harvested our first melon ever this past weekend. It was a little small, but tasted great. I'll be doing more next year for sure.

Yummy! Way to go Kim!

Kim is the Canary Melon a type of Honeydew Melon, because they look identical? I wish I could grow Melon But here in the UK we don't have climate and it is not worth planting as you can buy a large Honeydew for a £1 in the Supermarket. I think it is interesting that in your part of the world where I would struggle to grow some of your crops, you would find easy and vice versa.Any Road (True Yorkshire expression) I have been reading a book by James Wong Here in the UK called 'Grow for Flavour' and it does really change your mind about gardening, because most gardeners do not use a scientific approach and hence produce bland tasting produce. In the book it has the following Myths1) Home-grown always taste better.2) Heirloom varieties always taste better.3) Growing in a pot is easier4) Pests are all Bad.5) Fresh is best.6) Pretty much everything you have been told on how to plant trees.7) That defoliating tomatoes will help ripen fruit.

Looks great and yummy..I have a couple of little melons in the garden but they are so small. Not sure when to pick them but I think I will do it soon.

wow looks delicious
