I have some starter females on my plants right now, and I know that if I pollinated them, they would be nothing but trouble.

Amazing enough that would be good advice to most teenage boys.

I wouldn't worry about how big around they are, but the length is worth pursing.

You southern gents are so ahead of us up here in Canada with respect to your watermelons. What time of the year do they ripen and reach full weight?

Most of us usually aim for early September for our first mature melons. There is a late August weigh-off in Arkansas. Our local meteorologists are saying this was the warmest meteorological spring ever here in Knoxville. My plants grew so fast it really threw me off guard. Next year we may have a cool or cold spring season. I think no one can accurately predict long range weather.
