Thos., I might have to agree with you on your geography Roosevelt is a little ways away. But the melons here are indeed good. In fact next week is Melon Days, Saturday all you can eat watermelon, catalope, and crenshaw melons.
As far as a market in Grand Junction, that is a possibility. My problem right now is the lack of a shop. At home I use an area that is about 12' by 12'. I can barely move around there, and I don't have a lot of good quality tools. I do have access to the school shop, but then so do the students, and they don't always treat the tools right. Hopefully within the next few years I'll get a shop set up, and can start doing a few more commissions.
