ESheel I honestly don’t know other than the watermelon in the May 17th post in my diary that I am putting the shed over is the same melon . You tell me how old it is based on today’s date and the melon size on 5/17/18 . 14 days in May plus 8 in June = 22 known days, then the time it took to get to the size shown on 5/17. Give me your best guess.Thanks

I’m going to guess somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 lbs. 80-90? Appears to be growing well. Have you tried the chart ?

Do you know how to measure for it ? That will give you a pretty close estimate. The one from the GWG website is pretty good. Marvin was pretty close with his estimates. God bless him.

Completely unknown,but I estimated about 8 days old on 5/17as well. That would put it at 28 days old today . This is the 199.5 Mudd by Rampart. I identified as Mitchell in one post but I looked at my sheet and it is the Mudd
