At 180 lbs. and still growing, you have a monster melon, indeed. Saw Todd
Kline's winning watermelon at Ottawa two years ago, and it was HUGE. Congrats
and I hope you reach 200!
Is your watermelon a Carolina Cross variety? Where did you obtain your seeds,
commercially or from another grower?
I would like to know how different the cultivation and propagation techniques
are as compared to the AG. Did you use different fert, soil or organic matter
for your melons? How big did your plants get and did you prune or train your
vines at all?
Very curious.
