This melon is approximately 12" from stem to blossom end today from your diary

Nice melon, what are you going to do with it? Will it be heading to Hope, AR?

will take a melon 50% larger this year to win hope arkansas needs all the extra space in the melon to accomodate all the heavy air this year.

think i saw Mr bright out there in the patch last week with the roughly 12yr old bicycle pump getting things ready to go even

going to need a 4x4 platform scale this year too got a feeling Lindley is growing a 4ft long missle this year too

Looks like you are doing a nice job LBD.
Maintain a good spray program and you should be in good shape.

I will wait and see how the younger plants do and determine which way I go a little later. Seems like if I speak to quickly something always happens.

Been cold in NC, down near 50, melons don't like this weather. Might not see any big early melons unless grown in greenhouse.
