I am cleaning up the garden so I can possibly plant some rye in the next few weeks. This is whats still left of a Black Diamond melon plant grown off of my 85 Ciesielski '13. I stopped culling melons when I saw that the chosen melon wasn't going to attain any great weight. There were 3 or four more melons that I harvested off this plant (to eat) that aren't in the picture. You can see that healthy melon plants will really load up if you let them. The melon plants were huge and they had no trouble supporting all this growth. Too bad I only grew one Carolina Cross plant this year. I think I would have had my best year for sure. All my melons were on grafts.
