               Well it's close enough to time. Let's wake up the board and see who can get the closest to the #1 GPC watermelon weight for 2019. Will the WR fall? Guessing is open until April 1st at midnight.
  I'll start the show off 
  383 lbs

               Jerryg, Herd mentality has the watermelon record stuck at 350 pounds. A new grow who does not know/follow the herd playbook to growing giant watermelons could do grow something > 350 pounds using a new hybrid seed.

               My plan this year is better watering system, better fertilizer/organic matter program  (no more Miracle Grow type stuff), and better soil prep. Last year showed my deficiencies despite blowing up my watermelons when they were my personal bests.
