Melons
Melons are a fruit of the Cucurbitaceae family, the same family which is shared with cucumbers, squash, and luffas. Melons typically grow on a vine and tend to grow best in sandy, well-aerated and well-watered soil free of weeds. Melons range in size, typically as small 6 inches in diameter to larger, 15 pound varieties which are usually around 20 x 12 inches. Melons come in a variety of colors, with fleshes colored red, pink, orange, yellow and green respectively.
