Anyone that decided to go for it doing any good? I'm just curious. I didn't have enough room for a watermelon with the AG's I planted, but wondering if anyone out there has a shot at the record?

Why would it be a secret that you couldn't say who had a nice watermelon?
If I had a fat one going I'd be glad for the notoriety....

Orange Crush was talking about my wife. He lives in the next town over from me. Kyle,its not a big secret about her watermelon, but I think Doug did the right thing by not mentioning her name. He figures if she wanted everyone to know, she would have posted herself. My wife never uses the computer at home. She says that she spends all day at work on one, she doesn't want to spend all night on it as well. Watermelon is over 100 Lbs now, but the cold weather has slowed the growth down. With any luck she will get a new PB.
