#mousemelons

Finally getting mousemelons in the garden! We've had six so far and I'm about to pick two more in the morning for my mother in law. I always feel silly bestowing a single tiny vegetable as a gift to people, but the first few veggies from the garden are special.

One of my mousemelon vines is a real overachiever, I guess it really likes that spot or something. Can't wait for the first fruits to come, so I can find out whether or not I actually like mousemelon after all of this effort to get them growing. . . . . . . . . . . . . #gardening #mousemelon #mousemelons #mousemelonvine #hangingplants #hangingharvest https://www.instagram.com/p/B7YtXglBiVa/?igshid=ayj5tkihpi6l

Assorted plant friends I found while cleaning off the kitchen table just now. The hard frost last night brings us to the next phase of the farm year, and I'm grateful for the abundance and bounty and plenty the warm months provided us. Dreaming up and fighting for a world where every farmer has such luck and privilege. #passionflowerfruit #chinkapin #mousemelons #persimmon #ajiamarillo #pecan (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)

This is what those mousemelons look like on the vine!

I dropped by the Parklawn farmers market today and found these little gems! They're called mouse melons and they are amazing! They taste like cucumberlemontomatoes wrapped in a super thin watermelon rind haha i know that sounds like a handful to digest but trust me they are amazing! Like a one man salad :p #mousemelons #healthyeats #farmersmarket #parklawnfarmersmarket #redcurrents
