Haven't decided on #8
in case anyone cares to know grafting cantaloupes is a breeze, I've done several tests this winter with 100% success. The advantage is they grow in cool weather, I hope to have em in path by april 1st. Mark, will my squantaloupes count in WWGG?

Bro Dave I think your 8.0 and the 46.6 Westfall have the greatest potential to get us away from splitting lopes because of their bloosom thickness. Any cross with them and a fast grower like the 48 Dawson would be awesome. Josh I may be trying a graft too, but I pretty good a splittin them already LOL. Guess we will see what happens.

Westham the ones that the GWG sent out was the 51.125, It was grown from the 16.2 Webb. That plant had 2 50+ on it. The 16.2 is a great seed if anyone has some they are worth planting.

Nic, were your ears burning yesterday? YOu were mentioned at the OVGPG.
Tetsukabuto Squash (Moschata X Maxima)
Fig Leaf Gourd (C.Ficifolia)
Bottle Gourd (Lagenaria Siceraria)
these three I have the best luck with for disease resistance.
Hedged Gourd (C.Metuliferus) WMV-1 and root knot nematode resistant, but I've lost this variety on melons to SMV-1.
