I weighed it today on 2 certified scales and they both came up with 49 pounds.It was 127 ott which it would be 50 pounds on the pumpkin book So I can figure these out now. My personal best now on the muskmelon.Its mother was a 35 pounder from last years and its mother was the 64 Robb world record. I was very happy with it and can not wait till next year. Should be lots of seeds. It is at the store on display for 2 days.

Great job Marty, save me a seed or 3...I weighed one a couple of weeks back that weighed 25#...came home from Indy to find my largest one damaged by critters...and rotting away...very pleased with 25# on my first try...Peace, Wayne
PS...Do you do controlled pollinations on those little tiny flowers...if so...I want some clues>>>LOL
