Spit some seeds

Now that stone fruits are waning, the fruit to get is melon. From succulent green honeydew to orange-fleshed Charantais, there is a slew of varieties to try. Watermelons come big or small, pink or yellow; get them seedless or have a seed-spittin' contest over juicy wedges. Seek out personal-sized tiger-striped melons or football-shaped Canary melons. Dice sweet melons and toss them with feta cheese and red onion for a quick salad. Puree them for aguas frescas or the best rum drinks in town. Melons pair well with salty things, so don't forget the classic prosciutto and cantaloupe combo.
