I got 2nd in the long gourd at Bloomfield with a 99". Jacob and I had personal best watermelons" his was 109# and mine 129#. We saw 3 Kansas state records broken, for pumpkin, bushel gourd and watermelon, and the Iowa state record bushel gourd was broken as well.
Getting home just before dark, I had to check our watermelons. They seem to have stopped growing, with OTT measurements just 1/2 " different. I just hope the roots are soaking up all the rain and they go heavy. I'm not measuring the 1200 Engel until we pick it, because I don't want to mess with the 3 wraps of fencing and chicken wire. But the orange color finally seems to be coming out
