September 1 update. The 1200 Engel is now 39 DAP, estimated 462#, gaining 15# per day. A rabbit nibbled on it despite the electric fence and chicken wire enclosure. I set a box trap, will put repellant or coyote urine out, and rabbit season is now open.

Biggest watermelon is now estimated 168# and gain is nearly 2# per day. Next one is 149# and gaining 2.5# per day. When our previous best was 115#, this is something special.

Longest gourd is 93" and growing 2 to 3 inches per day, nearly done. But we have another crop of new gourds coming on with just over a month to grow. Time to push them along.
