But I love your addition of the star anise...would bring out that perfumed flavour of the cantaloupe beautifully. virginia bluehttp://glamourdrops.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323849547147404211.post-50260955372541447712013-07-21T12:57:37.954-04:002013-07-21T12:57:37.954-04:00Luckily the fence in the back keeps the deer away....Luckily the fence in the back keeps the deer away. We have plenty in back but they go next door to feast on my next door neighbor's garden. She used to have hostas too. No more. Our bunnies also eat the grass...in big clumps!<br /><br />More rain today....lindaraxahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721286284279902181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323849547147404211.post-63155625136365290232013-07-21T07:15:35.450-04:002013-07-21T07:15:35.450-04:00I've never thought of preserving melons... wha...I've never thought of preserving melons... what a marvelous idea!<br /><br />Sorry about your weather and MR Bunny. Sometimes a bit of cayenne in water sprayed on the flowers can teach them it's not a good thing to eatDeana Sidneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14908407077861396161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323849547147404211.post-38470716594211571322013-07-21T06:41:47.623-04:002013-07-21T06:41:47.623-04:00We've had a lot of rain too and basically ruin...We've had a lot of rain too and basically ruined our heirloom tomatoes, but the rain has seemed to slow down the last week or so. Just regular summer showers now. Deer eat our hostas and azaleas, so we've given up on growing them. We have bunnies too, but so far they just eat the grass, I guess because the hostas were already eaten :)<br /><br />My husband adores melons and he would love your confettura. Hope you see some sunshine soon and the rain lets up. BTW, Georgia corn has been fantastic this year.<br />Sam Sam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358601435867848753noreply@blogger.com
