Josh started growing tomatoes, but has ended up with one lone cantaloupe, which I personally think is quite funny. Every time I look at it, I want to chuckle. He started growing tomatoes back in March/April, but we never got any fruit. We got beautiful blossoms, but sadly, no tomatoes. I finally made him throw out the plants because Eli loved to dig in the dirt, and it was making a big mess on the balcony (that he would also track into my house).
However, we started getting this weird plant growing, and for the longest time, we didn't know what it was. Josh said he had taken some of the seeds from a store-bought cantaloupe and planted them just for fun. After researching it online, we discovered that was the plant that was growing. It too had lots of blossoms that just fell off, but one has managed to make it--to my great surprise! I personally hate cantaloupe, but Josh and Eli like it, and it has been amusing to watch this thing grow since Josh's intention was to grow tomatoes (and peppers) but certainly not cantaloupe.

I can't believe how big that one cantaloupe is!!! It's much harder to grow cantaloupe than tomatoes or peppers! Way to go!!!
