Cantaloupes are here. There are at least 6 sellers all along Hwy. 285 that goes thru Pecos on the way to Carlsbad N.M. (to the north) or Ft. Stockton (to the south). They also have watermelons...and some onions.
I have read that there will be none or just a few shipped out. They just didn't plant many at all compared to past years. So, don't expect Pecos cantaloupes in your local stores and for sure no Blue Bell Cantaloupe ice cream.
Last Friday was the Cantaloupe Food Show down at the local bank. I made a Cantaloupe "Pizza" and got too busy and forgot to take a picture. The crust was sugar cookie and it had a marshmellow fluff/cream cheese topping with pecans and toasted coconut and then fresh cantaloupe on top.
That's all the fruity news.
