Missed one

Tiny ripe melon compared to melon still on the vine

I spotted a flash of round yellow on the ground near my garden. It seems that I missed slinging one of the developing melons, it grew too heavy for the vine, dropped to the ground, and ripened there. The neem spray did the job to keep the bugs away, and although it was small, it smelled and tasted like melon. Still waiting on the “large” melon to ripen!
