Too bad MS Janet. At least it wasn't a monster sized melon that quit on you guys.The season is very young.I am sure some of the others still have lots of pounds to gain.Here's Chris a chance to step up & console you by letting you pick a nice one of his to take over care of. :-)

Dennis, I don't think so ! She still has 1 more growing that should go over 200.

Everyone out here thinks my 150 poundish melon is huge except me :(.Can't even eat the darn thing because it's not ripe!

Good luck with the one that's still growing,Janet.

Not sure but the flipping may have had something to do with it. It kept trying to grow like it was still in the position before flipping, so something may have gone wrong inside. The blossem end turned yellow.
