Mellon Bursting; Flavor

The New Farmer has posted but there has been some exciting developments.
One is that we have harvested the second melon. You can see that it is an attractive melon and weighed nearly 1.5KG all on its own.
There has been a lot of rain and I went out to check yesterday after the last storm and you can see what has happened to this melon. It had burst. I think only a few minutes before. I brought it on in and cleaned it up, cut off the places where it broke and cut it up. It was great last night and with supper tonight.
Also we have some tomatoes. This is an example of this year's version of the Roma. I have had problems with all the water with fruit splitting and having soft spots. Also this is a nice onion.. If we have a few sunny days we will harvest the onions and cure them.  

102.063 KG was the last total and now there is 10.823KG this week  which gives a total of 112.886KG which is 250lbs for those metric impaired
