Test melons looking very good. By far the most aggressive family of plants are the 140.5 Cantrell's. The other 5 families are comparable with the 238 Holloway's the least aggressive but only by a smidgen. Will rotate vines onto the plastic and till one more time then finish up the hand work at the edges and around the stumps. That should complete 99% of the weeding that's getting done this year. Made the decision to terminate the 7 competition melon plants. Lack of time is an issue but a couple plants are showing early signs of bacterial spot and I want to stop it now before it gets to the test patch. Haven't had any luck curing it in the past.
