The big news today was that we harvested our fist melon from the greenhouse.  When Mark went in to water this morning there was a strong smell of melon, so he picked up the largest melon to check it for ripeness as it fell off the stalk in this process, it was safe to assume that it was as ripe as it was going to get.  The flavour was not quite as strong as the smell suggested it might be, but it was undeniably a melon and a ripe one at that.
