Took 118 days to ripen

The Rockmelon finally ripens. Took 118 days, coming in at 200 grams at about 20cm in circumference. The smell that fills the the kitchen is, oh, just divine – light, sweet and fruity. Before Xavier (my partner) left for this holidays, I promised to wait for him to enjoy the melon. This is going to prove to be more difficult than I anticipated. Must . Be . Strong.
