GREAT !! it was a 209 kent 09 selfed, the 209 was a 255 mitchell X 251 Mudd. It rotted at 209 lbs due to sitting on wet sand. It was the fastest growing melon before that in the garden. The 36 was grown in a kids swimming pool on her driveway. The 36 grew her 233 last year. If she was more experienced & only had 1 melon on the plant( she had another in the 160 range)it would have been much bigger then 233. It was out pacing all of mine last year.

Chris,
I have a 233 and it's the most vigorous, your 208 is about as nice! I will be crossing those together. And thanks for the seeds you sent me!
