We had a melon tasting today. Our favorite canteloupe, Athena, is a Monsanto product, and all ethical/corporation-feelings considerations aside, Monsanto has an awful habit of improving beloved varieties and then making the original unavailable. So, a replacement must be found, and comparisons must be made. A melon called “Hale’s Best” was the crowd favorite but we’ll repeat the experiment to be sure. (at Laughing Earth)
