| | Inodorous melons tend to be very sweet with a hint of honey. | | | All rough-skinned melons are harvested at what farmers call "full slip," which means the fruit pulls cleanly away from the vine, leaving no trace of a stem in the bellybutton. | | | A good melon ranks among summer's most luxurious treats - juicy yet still slightly crisp in texture, redolent of flowers or musk or honey, or all of them combined, depending on the variety. |
