In a world of hothouses, far from the farm, we city-folk tend to forget that fruits and vegetables have peaks in their harvest season and that they are unspeakably better during that time. No fruit is quite as different in and out of season as the honeydew melon. Other times of the year, it serves as pale green squares of styrofoam adding filler to fruit salad, but for a few brief weeks in late summer, it is candy sweet.
This melon is a "King of the West" and they've been in season for about a month already, so it is about to peak out. Honeydew season is almost over...just in time for college football!
