Re: any thoughts
The three watermelons at our weigh-off site last year measured,
78.5" circumference, 49" stem to Blossom, 34" Side to side = 118.5 lbs.
61" circumference, 39" stem to blossom, 28" side to side = 60 lbs.
61.5" circumference, 39" stem to blossom, 26" side to side = 60 lbs.
I had several other watermelon that ranged around 100 lbs. that were in
the middle of these three. This should give you a good idea of what you
might have.
