Here is the 75 pound squash next to my 93 pound melon that I brought to the fair. The melon is off one of my JBDxCC crosses that I got from Chris Kent. This fruit stopped growing in early August after the swollen stumps caused "vine collapse disorder". My new name for the problem that all melon growers are quite familiar with. It is interesting I heard Andrew Vial mention that his vines no longer collapse in Late June early July. But they now happen later in the season. I have seen the same thing in my patch. Not sure why or what I am doing differently. I guess it is a step in the right direction. Just a bit more frustrating. I think this one was going to be a 200 pound beach ball!
