That sounds like some great genetics. I hope they all sprout and do well for you.

The 194 Donkers is a great seed. The 232 Blanton is also a great seed, I think it out of the 168 Johson. Get some of them in the drit.

Wasn't there some question about the 232 being open pollinated with a stars and moon melon?...long time ago but thats my recollection.....can anyone old confirm this?

Does anybody know if that 232 is still the state record in Indiana, I'm having a hard time finding out for some reason.

My 232 was 140 Elkins X Open and remarkably is still the Indiana record. Though probably not for much longer, but I said that years ago too so we shall see. Glenn is also correct, I have had one report of the seed growing moon and stars fruit but it never did that when I grew it or a few others that I know of. Personally, I would plant my 182 over the 232...
