I grew some l00 pounder Pumkins and a 30 pound Charlotte Gray melon but that was it.
Specifically looking for ideas/tips on Watermelon 50 pounds and up not losing flavor. Variety, seed source , experience with them etc.
For pumpkins i can use the Ferry-Morse or Burpee seeds to get to the 100 pound mark. Anyone have a source for larger ones? I know I have to hand-pollinate the pumpkins. I had leaves with hair on the stalks like steel needles and leaves you could use as umbrellas. Watermelons mostly died in the California heat and neighbor said it was smog.
Many Thanks.
