ROCKY FORD — Southern Colorado is about to get a lot sweeter.
Melon season is underway in Rocky Ford and farmers across the region are harvesting and selling their famous watermelons and cantaloupe.
"Everything I have eaten so far has been really sweet. The flavor rivals some of the best I have ever had. The watermelons are extremely sweet and the cantaloupe really have a clean taste to them this year," farmer Michael Hirakata said.
The melons should be in grocery stores across Colorado over the next few days.
