Can't believe I forgot my camera!!! Took a melon and a pumpkin to the Tennessee State Fair. The numbers of pumpkins this year was down, 3 entries, but the melon competition was very good with 10 entries. My pumpkin placed second and I set a new PB at 894. OTT 328, est wt 779, 15% heavy. It was off my 604 Cantrell which is half squash and pollinated by a squash producing 512 Cantrell. Hopefully I'll get greenies next year. The melon placed 3rd and was off of a 165(B) Cantrell. Open pollinated, OTT 191, est wt 196, actual wt 209 and 67 days old. I'll be glad if I can ever get them to grow 85-90 days. I need to do a better job of pest control!!
