Now I have a confirmed schedule for giant cantaloupes. Last year I didn't record date so growing these for a weigh-off this year was just a guess. Seeds started 4/19/10, planted outside 5/12/10, pollinated around 6/12/10, and now the harvest. Total 88 days. This is the best of 2 so far it was grown on a 40.44 Cantrell and weighed 39 lb 10.5 oz at the post office. OTT 116. Since it was open pollinated I'm not going to save seeds. I still have plenty from my 40.44 and others with known genetics. Still have a good 44 Holloway going and will harvest as soon as I see color. I did start 7 seeds on 6-13 so maybe one or two will make it to a weigh-off.
