Every summer, my grandpa would show up in his garden with a basket full of the juiciest cantaloupes I’ve ever tasted. He always said the trick was to water them early in the morning, before the sun got too hot. I used to think he was just being old-fashioned, but then I tried it myself and wow—my melons actually tasted sweeter. He also taught me to check the leaves for bugs every couple of days. If you catch them early, you don’t need to use any weird sprays. Just pick them off and let the plants do their thing. Now, every time I walk through my own garden, I remember those little tips. It’s wild how much happiness a few homegrown cantaloupes can bring. #gardeningtips #familytraditions #cantaloupe #summervibes #Gardening
