Excellent photos, Violet.

From this point on, this baby melon grew to be a monsterous 20-30 LB giant. Very rewarding experience. One vine produced more than what we could consume and we had to give quite a bit to friends and neighbors.

KK_MEM,

Thank you! Mine never got that big, I'm wondering if it was the cultivar....
