This is a 144 Cantrell melon it is growing on a 'Shintosa Camelforce' rootstock. It was grafted at the end of March and set in the garden in early May. It has been growing vigorously, easily outgrowing everything else. My goal is to grow one to 200 pounds this year. I will not be using fabric to prevent the weeds, as I did this last year, the voles had a field day under it. Instead I dug an 8" deep trench around the patch and installed a roll of 1/4" hardware cloth all around to prevent the voles from burrowing in. I hope it works.
