This talking about stinky stuff has given me a flashback!....... Actually two flashbacks!
One led to the other!
You would never think that something that smelled sweet and delicious, would actually turn into something extremely nauseating.
I was traveling in the South Texas Valley during the harvest time of their cantaloupes. As I got closer to the farming area, the scent grew stronger. Now there are many many many sections(640ac/section) of farmland growing the exact same thing or some small variant of cantaloupe. I was going right through the middle of it too! It was absolutely insane how strong and intense the scent was!
And the other flashed back was my crop of Israeli Ogden melons that I grew on the property across from my farm. I don't know if you can still get that exact strain today. A simply amazing flavorful melon! About the only downside was that it's not a long distance carrier. It would be mainly for local farm to market. Absolutely insane production also!
I can still imagine that early morning smell of the melons as I'm getting ready to go to work. Not only was that a smell of something good to eat, it was also the smell of money. All the stars were aligned and it got rain when it needed it. I had to put my Uncle to work to harvest them all. He hired some locals that did the actual harvesting and I had local grocers from five different towns buying them, uncle also sold them roadside and on the weekends we sold them down at the farm to market. We had a good solid month of extremely high quality harvest.
I don't know how well they would do in higher latitudes but they definitely need a good sandy loam. If the same strain is still available, it is definitely worth the grow!
Thankfully you went with fruit as your flashback. With that GIF, thought we were gonna get a flashback with ass-less chaps!
