I was questioned on the dap of this melon and rightly so. It has taken forever for any females to show up on these 2 plants and finally on one of them 2 females showed up 7/18/17 and they both got pollinated, one x self & one x sib, this is the melon pollinated x self. The next morning 7/19 the sib pollinated female had been chewed on and was done, this one took and here it is. It was a unusually big female bloom and fruit combo but on the morning of the 19th when I saw the size it was already getting I knew it took and was going to be a nice grower. Just hope it hangs in there! This is my own 146.5 melon '15 grown from my own 117.5 (297 Kent x 291 Kent).
