CANTALOUPE PROBLEM AND GARDEN TIPS
NOTE: PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION Yesterday I checked this cantaloupe and saw a crack in the rind near the soil. I decided to video this for the information that would be useful for my viewers. The cantaloupe maturity date was 8-2 12 and it was 7-25-12 so it was in the window of being ripe. The stem would not move when I pushed on it two days ago which is the sign that it is ready to pick. When a cantaloupe cracks open it is usually past being ripe and/or it has gotten too much water. I could not figure out why this happened. After the video I looked at the other loupes in the patch and none were affected I rotated each one 90 degrees so that the bottom was now on the side. They were dry and perfect and were sitting on dry compost. People do put a upturned pot on the ground and put the loupe on it to prevent this from happening. I looked where this loupe came from and notice that the loupe had been sitting on one of my 2 gallon a hour drippers. You can see it in the video. It was just a fluke that it grew right on top of the dripper on the irrigation line and that is why it was rotten. It was sitting in a soil soaked hole and not on top of the soil. The irrigation was put down before any fruit had set. Mystery solved on the rot. The watery taste does mean that they were probably getting too much water, but I have to water them when the leaves are drooping. Usually cantaloupe are ready to pick when you can pop the stem off the loupe with one finger and little pressure. When I do this I hold the loupe with one hand and push with a finger on my right hand. I had the camera in my right hand and it was harder to push the stem near the skin so I used the stem to push the stem off the cantoloupe.
