Yeah Spence! I would like to see pic of Chris's melons this year as well. Ahead of his personal best is ahead of any ever grown. Lot of people in Alabama complaining about heat but if melons keep growing I'm fine with it.

Know what you mean Spence! Our 316 melon is about 27 inches long and 20 inches wide. I've got a girth pic I will post of it later.

I have a couple.
They are impressive to me because it's my first year.
Think I'll go post em in my diary now while I'm thinking about it.

Melons look fantastic Chris.
The 350 looks very long(or could it just be deceiving?)
I agree on the 251.
Just a fat pig.
Mine is just a barrel.
SS measurement today was 35 1/2 @ 26DAP.

How many days old is that 251 monster and what does it chart? I think we pollinated about the same day just wondering how far behind "the man" I am.

Charles, I'm jealous as I would like to try the 316 next year.
Do you like the closet shelving rack?
I thought about using that until a friend of mine who owns a local pub suggested the Pepsi 2 liter racks he had at his pub.

Spence, I'll make sure to wear my steel toes for tomorrow's photo shoot.

Yes ESheel, the closet rack is working really good so far. I am reinforcing it with 2x4s beneath rack. Actually the second rack I've used. First one wasn't big enough. Hey Chris, get your taser ready! I think Spence has been in your patch.Lol

My 2nd year trying........and it ain't good enough.

But y'all are fun to watch too.

Carolyn, that 241 melon looks like a pretty good one to me! I think y'all will make Spence proud with the melons y'all grow from his seed.
