The county fair started yesterday and I had a melon on the 251 that had slowed down so I decided to pull it and take it to the fair. Measured 160 lbs. and weighed 170.5 lbs. It was 56 days old and averaged 3.04 lbs. per day

Frank, The melon I grew on the 251 Mudd went really heavy to the chart. Most of my others were light to the chart.

Frank, Did it have some problems? I'm surprised it was so small.

Chris, it was grown inside a greenhouse and we had some pretty hot weather since first of June. Grew pretty slow. Biggest one day gain was 4.2 lbs.
