Cantaloupes

Cantaloupes are our main food crop here at Smith Farms. Most people don't realize the work that goes into bringing produce from the field to the dinner table.








Bob works hard everyday caring for our crops.  There is so much more to it than just planting a few plants and waiting for a cantaloupe.  After preparing the plant beds, you must provide water and fertilizer as well keeping weeds and pests away.






Our plants this year are growing well.  Right on schedule, they are producing runners and flowering and we've even seen some baby cantaloupes about the size of peas.  Soon we will have full, sweet fruit just right for picking.
