The 1594 Urena (1911 x 1803 Hoelke) selfed is an UOW 1227lb via inline scale. Didn’t have a chance to get it to a weighoff. Ended up solid, lots of cantalouping harvested on 9/30.

Harvest’d seeds today. Unfortunately very few seeds. Maybe a handful viable. I question if the heat wave right after pollination contributed. Will have hundreds from the UOW 1227, not that it will help me. Had a lot of good fortune this season, guess I was due for some misfortune.
