Hi everyone
I've been wanting to grow a big cantalope for a few years now and next year will be the year if I get a couple of seeds to try.I'm not neccessarily looking for a record setter,but today I saw a lope close to the size of a soccer ball and thought that was great.I don't know if I should buy that one and get the seeds from it,or is it possibly a hybrid and it would be a waste of time.
Also,wondering if someone has put together something for beginners to read about the basics of growing giant lopes.
The only thing I have for trade,if anyone is interested,would be seeds from 2 toms I grew this year.They're both "stump of the world" toms and they grew pretty good under the conditions we had this year.We had drought like conditions and watered the plants only 3 times and they grew well.One was 23.20 oz and the other was 15.65 oz. I think they have potential to get alot bigger and they are the tastiest tomato I've ever had so far.
Thanks for reading and considering,
Gene
