I had two of my Athena Cantaloupe plants grow to maturity and I ended up with exactly two beautiful cantaloupes. At least they are both nice and big, with firm flesh and really great flavor! :)
Linking up with the new Orange You Glad It's Friday, Straight Out Of the Camera Sunday, Mandarin Orange Monday and The Country Garden Showcase.

Cool! It always tastes better if you grow it yourself, right?
wonderful sooc work!! YUMMY!
Yay for you! Two is something. We can't grow a melon here to save our souls ... not hot enough for long enough. :( I shall live vicariously through you. :)
We've had such temps that we were able to grow about 6 melons so far. 2 of them are still on the vine. But with recent cool temps and rain... I notice several little melons coming on the vine again!
Aren't they delicious?
--yours look so pretty! enjoy,Pat
CAN you say...'nice melons' in the comments? ;)
Looks juicy!
Oh, yum.
Looks delicious!
Glad you got a couple.
Looks good! I keep thinking I am allergic to melons (suddenly) now. I would like to grow one to see if it's chemicals or really the melon. I even have slight problems breathing- cantelope, honeydew, watermelon, etc.
I don't even like melon, and those look GREAT!! Exactly two is perfect!
I do so love the smell of these beauties! Good job!
WOW that one looks delicious. Enjoy.
I planted the same kind! And they are indeed delicious!
very inviting photograph and the melon too
Oh, they look soooo good! I'm not sure that my cantelopes are going to have enough time to make this year after a late planting but I'm still holding out a teeny tiny bit of hope. And thank you for sharing your great looking recipe for pumpkin scones... it totally looks like another winner to me and I can't wait to try it!
Home grown melons are the best. Not like the supermarket varieties that are grown for shipping and lasting a long time in the store. I have been growing my own for several years. I am still waiting for them to ripen.
Gosh, this is so yummy! It's making me hungry. Great photo.
These melons (we call them rockmelons) look so fresh and juicy - and of course I love the colours. Thank you for contributing to Mandarin Orange Monday:)
Delicious! We only planted watermelon this year. That looks so good.
Delicious photography!
Juicy and inviting!
Visiting from Mandarin Orange Monday.

Have a great day!
Beautiful! They look amazing!
I have some melons, but not that big!
My cantaloupe vines died shortly after sprouting so I'm very jealous right now :) And hungry...very hungry!
Thanks for participating in the first Orange You Glad It's Friday. Hope to see you back next week!

Looks yummy. Thanks for visiting!
It looks so juicy!
I played too. Mine is here.
Oh, how fun, Candy! Cantaloupe is one of my favorites.
Lovely flower pict too.
That looks so yummy! I'm sure it tastes even better knowing you grew it.
Oh yum! I'm glad you at least got these two! I want to try to grow some next year!
Well, you did better than I did. That looks perfect! I had one tiny edible melon. The rest rotted on the vine. (Though I have one plant that I planted much later that has three small melons on it. We will see if they ripen!)
