Here is a link to the video of the auction of Mr Darren Burnthorn's 215 pound Carolina Cross contest winning melon in northeast Louisiana. Wow !

Dennis, Darren is also known on BP as Louisiana Bigg Dogg! He does a great job with grafting and had an awesome season. He finished 1st and 2nd at that festival with a 215 lb melon and a 212 lb melon.

Yes, I have been keeping up with LBD's posts. That is a very impressive melon to be grown so far south. I am sure grafting helped a lot. Congratulations Darren.

Sorry Bigg Dogg! I knew you were Daryl from our emails this this summer I just forgot. Great season and keep up the great work! Maybe I can grow something decent this year and we can swap some seeds to grow next year!
