I went away for ten days and when I got back, I had my share of culling to do. There had to be at least a couple hundred pounds worth. I had them stripped down before I left, but the weather must have been good while I was away. It is a lot of work to grow these things the right way. I hope I see some better weights at the weigh offs because of the extra trouble of culling so rigorously. Last years 175 was on a plant that was left alone and was loaded up with melons. It didn't seem to slow it down much.
The best melon and pumpkin growers pour out the love for their plants and their dedication is payed off at the weigh offs. It is so hard to know which of the cultural details that they perform make the difference.
I am sure that the difference is in the details. Just not sure which details.
