Japan Fruit Facts
At the grocery store, the watermelons aren’t the big-ass bbq/Fourth-Of-July summer fun fruits they are in the States, but rather perfectly round entities usually tied with bows if not in a special box. And the price tag affixed to these items? Usually $30.00 (all denominations in USD).
Cantaloupes are the same, though usually not as fancily wrapped as the watermelons; small and perfectly round with a price tag of about $20.00.
I was never big on cantaloupes or watermelons (the former I used to grow in my parent’s garden in Michigan, the latter I’d stick its seeds to my forehead with a wish attached to each one, and the last one to fall off was supposed to come true), but seeing as they are so unobtainable here I suddenly feel a need, upon visiting the states, to indulge in a big melon fest (literal).

let me know where to send them and I’ll send ya some watermellon and cantlope seeds
Hehe, that would be great, but I would be sure where to grow them! Land is at a premium on this small island. I might be able to work something out for the cantaloupes but definitely not the watermelon. When I get my new address, I’ll email it to you. Thanks :)
