This year we experimented with vertically trellising some smaller melon varieties: Ha'Ogen, Charentais, Canary, and Prescott Fond Blanc. . .

| It's a little hard to distinguish amongst everything else, but there is a sawhorse in the middle with melons growing up it. You can see one of the melons hammocked in a piece of an old T-shirt. |

| A few characters of the aforementioned varieties, with some miniature Moon and Stars watermelons, too (they were not trellised, although they could have been, considering their surprisingly palm-sized stature). The Prescott Fond Blanc on the right was interesting in its pumpkin-y appearance, but lacked sweetness. |

The Ha'Ogen has exquisite banana-y tropical juicy flesh and a very musky fragrance before even being cut open. A delight for all the senses!

Wow, nice melons.
