Sweet Summer, Not Yet Done

Anticipating these sweet things, soon to be ready:
Musk melons and cantaloups. Some harvested for tomorrow's CSA pickup.
Moon and Stars watermelon, Sugar babies, and others...
Peaches that sit fully in the palm of my hand. Mary Anne had me plant two of these trees the first summer I was here, and so I can't but help tracking my growth with theirs.
The pears that have always been. Not a great bearing year for them, but they'll be tasty enough once we get a frost or two--but I can wait a while for that!
