I started the giant watermelons in pro mix. I am hoping to have them at least a couple feet long by the beginning to middle of May when they go into the garden. It seems really early to start, but they really don't grow super fast in the conditions that I give them.
Here is what I have going so far;
164 White 08 (225 White x 146 James)
157 Bhaskaran 09 (255 Mitchell x open) dark seed
153 Leonard 09 (197 Leonard x 255 Mitchell)
180 Bhaskaran 08 (231 Mitchell x open)
213 Kent 08 (211 Leonard x self)
243 Kent 09 (213 Kent x 267 Edwards)
181 Masterson 09 (unknown genetics)
207 Masterson 09 (unknown genetics)
103 Masterson 09 ('Mountain Hoosier x open)
I plan on growing a giant 'Blue Rind' and crossing it with the 'Mountain Hoosier'. I think they are really pretty.
