They are in a raised bed and I give them quite a bit of water.

I'm actually not a big fan of this variety of cantaloupe, but my wife loves them. As far as flavor goes, for the bigger ones near the rind they are a bit tough and flavorless, but about 1" from the surface and throughout they are quite sweet and flavorful.

edit: 1" was a bit of an exaggeration. I just sliced this one and just cut a bit more off the rind than I do with smaller ones and it was fine. There was actually a ton of flavor in this one. Just leaving it in the kitchen uncut for a few hours resulted in my whole kitchen smelling of cantaloupe.
