So I was making my usual rounds, watering the plants, pollinating them (with an electronic toothbrush :) and when I got to the cantaloupe plant, I noticed it was gone; obviously it had fallen someplace. I did support it with a stocking but apparently I didn't do a very good job of that. I found it in the dirt several feet away being eaten by snails. They didn't do any real damage, they just ate a bit of the outer skin. It actually tasted good! It's about half the size of a cantaloupe you'd find in the store, but still exciting nonetheless. Especially considering that I never planted it but it sprouted on its own.
