Hey Allen, I culled a few plants. My two Westfalls have had some disease that won't go away. The 21 crosby is having the same heat stress issues I had the few time I tried to grow a 55 James. The 56.7,57.75,64,51.13 will be the most like to produce something this year. The females have been setting over the last week so don't know about fruit growth yet.

With that said, the 56.7 Lyvers has been the best plant I have ever grown. The plant is a beast, and produces well shaped big females. Hopefully a good keeper will stick soon. The plant size doesn't always reflect fruit size, but it looks encouraging. The challenge with be the August in GA heat. I have never tried one this late before.

Man...I can say the same for the 57.75 it took over,it is still producing a late lope.the first one bit the bullet...my late line up on the 56.7 has put one out 6 inches from the stump and is going strong but do not expect a monstrous melon..
