242 Wolf 20 (202.5 Crews x Self) Bumped the NY state record watermelon up a bit this time.

Grafted to BG rootstock, same as my other watermelon plant, but this one stayed incredibly healthy even into October. Both my 172 and 242 were pollinated on July 17th, and the 198.5 was only a couple days older. I believe with an earlier pollination and better removal of culls - those things hide way too easy - 300# is certainly doable here.
