The 291 Kent x 297 Kent official "105 J Young melon. Second place for the most air in a melon,lol. Still, after talking with a couple growers at Anamosa the genitcs of both the 297 x 291 and 291 x 297 crosses should be good. The air in both melons was due to the patches being too far away from a water source. Even though we got record rain fall at times the watering was way too inconsistant. Lesson learned and so I am putting melons and bushel gourds next season in my east patch which is approx 295 ft x 40 ft now. I don't see myself raising market tomatoes next season due to health factors and a friend of mine dropped of an axle setup for a double barrel rain barrel set up that I can leave at my barns rain gutters and easily move with the tractor to different patches for watering. Sorta like a military water buffalo. Good winter project. I'll tell ya's, I've gottin very interested in these melons... I've gotta start gettin Tee Shirts printed up,lol.
