            | Minnesota Melon Man | Rochester, Minnesota | Three of my vines have achieved critical mass to start pollinating.  This morning I pollinated my WHITE 173 to Chris' KENT 35.  The kent sure can throw a lot of males; quite impressive.   I put a bag of ice next to it, and a blanket over it, so let's see if my theory about cooling the females works again this year. | 6/20/2012 11:09:40 AM |
