This is the first cantaloupe I have ever grown, and I am officially spoiled now.

I went out to check the garden this morning and this one basically slipped right off the vine. The outside looked a little rough and cracked, so I wasn’t even sure it would be good. But I could smell it just holding it, which felt promising.

Then I cut it open.

SO juicy. Beautiful orange flesh. Sweet, fresh, and honestly the best cantaloupe I’ve ever tasted.

I’ve bought plenty of cantaloupe over the years, but apparently letting one ripen completely on the vine is a whole different experience. Now I understand why people get so excited about homegrown melons.

And thankfully, I grew a few more of the same variety. So now I’ll be out there inspecting them daily like some kind of cantaloupe security guard waiting for the next one to slip. 😂

First homegrown cantaloupe: huge success.

This morning’s visitor at Route E Blooms. 🦋🌻 A Great Spangled Fritillary found the branching sunflowers and apparently approved.

One of my favorite parts of growing flowers has been seeing who else shows up to enjoy them.

Seedling feeding day at Route E Blooms 🌱

I’m trying Neptune’s Harvest Fish & Seaweed Fertilizer 2-3-1 on my flower seedlings. I like that it combines fish fertilizer and seaweed, and today I started my established seedlings with a very diluted feeding while bottom watering them like usual.

And yes… it smells like fish fertilizer. 😂 Nobody is buying this stuff for the fragrance.

If you’re looking for the one I’m using, I added Neptune’s Harvest Fish & Seaweed Fertilizer to my Amazon Storefront.

After 6 years with this boat, she finally made it onto a Missouri lake. First stop: Thomas Hill Reservoir — and wow, what a beautiful place for a summer boat day. 💙🚤

Okay, but LOOK at the size of this dahlia. 🤍🌸

The giant white dinner-plate dahlias are finally blooming at Route E Blooms, and they apparently have no interest in being subtle. 😂 Yes, that’s my hand for scale!

I also have beautiful white ball dahlias blooming now, so there are two gorgeous white options available.
