Some of the sweetest and juciest melons that are available (in season) throughout much of the United States go by the name of Rocky Ford. I did not know that they come from the desert southeastern corner of Colorado until I passed through here on US Hwy. 50 in mid-August. I stopped and put a couple of ripe canteloupe in my ice chest, and they were still in good shape when I got home to Ohio and presented them to Karen three days later. If you happen to be in Rocky Ford in late summer, it would seem a shame not to stop and taste the melons.
