The board is kinda slow right now so lets do the guess the heaviest GPC watermelon weight for 2018. Deadline for entries is March 31st at 23:59! I'll donate a set of my seeds from 2018 to the winner!

What did you say on the seed trial thread ? 383 Lindley? I think it’s possible!

Had the hole insertion grafts last season and they are an easy graft to perform but I had multiple stumps to blow. It good have been from the excess rainfall my location received. It rained almost everyday it seemed throughout the entire season. I had drip tubing down but never turned it on even once because the ground stayed wet. Was it the graft failing or was excess rainfall and taking on to much water the reason for stump failure? I will try one cot ,side graft and maybe even hole insertion to see which performs better under the same environment.

Not to be too specific but I will say a 359.5 lb melon will be grown in Sevierville, TN and it will be weighed at Operation Pumpkin in Ohio!
