melon patch
Cantaloupe growing area
A melon patch is a plot of ground where melons are cultivated.
The term appears in rural and agricultural contexts, often evoking small-scale farming or home gardens: We'd sneak into old man Johnson's melon patch on summer nights.
Like other crop-specific patches (pumpkin patch, strawberry patch), it suggests a dedicated growing area rather than a full field.
