Umatilla county Is Oregon's major production area for water melons. (North Morrow county is also doing its part). Klondyke is the main variety grown in the llcrmiston area, and these melons are noted for sweetness, redness, small seeds, and fine crisp texture. Some melons are also grown in Douglas and Mal heur counties. How Do You Choose Good Melons? Cantaloupe: Vine-ripened can taloupes have a saucer-like shal low depression at the end which is formed when the melon sep arates from the vine. A mature cantaloupe breaks easily from a rouu'h scar with a portion of the vine less mature ones have stem adhering to the melon. You have the promise of a sweet mature cantaloupe when the netting on the surface of the melon is course, corky, and stands out In bold relief over the entire surface. Distinctive, pronounced can taloupe fragrance goes along with a ripe melon. However, this is not foolproof. If the melon is cold, you may not be able to detect much aroma. Watermelon: Andy Due an, OSU Horticulturists, says to look at the underside of the melon. Here a yellowish color Is a sign of a ripe melon. White or pale green color indicates Immaturity. Choose melons that are sym metrical in shape, firm to the touch, and velvety in appear anre. Of course, the sure way is to cut a plug out of the melon and taste it! This is frowned on by most retailers. However, many stores do sell melons by the half or sometimes by the piece. Thus, getting.
