Productive produce

I snagged a cantaloupe at the farmer's market the other day, and ate part of it tonight. It was so perfectly ripe that the seeds had already released from the inside of the melon and poured out rather than needing to be scraped from its hollow center. I figured that they were ripe enough to save and plant next year. But, having just moved and with the kitchen under construction, there wouldn't enough free counter space to dry them on a cookie sheet, even if anybody knew which box to dig them out of. So I find myself sticking the seeds to the side of a bowl with nothing but their freshly-rinsed dampness. It's ridiculous, and also kinda fun. And it works.
