An old friend of mine used to grow 80 acres of melons between his wife and him.
40 acres each in sandy loam river bottom land.
Every year is was a contest between the two on who could grow the most and the best.
They were some of the best melons I have ever had.
He is long gone now as well as his wife.
But I haven't had a good melon since.
He sold them all from a Goose Neck flat bed trailer in towns at the town square.
