               It is getting that time that I need to decide what melon to keep on my biggest plant.  Is farther from the stump better?  Look for the strongest Vine?  I really have no idea. Best looking one?  Any help would be appreciated.

               I only look for a couple of things. Relatively good shape. Which one is growing the fastest between sibling melons. Compare day 5 to day 5 measurements. 10 to 10. etc. Pick an age and cut the small one. Mine is day 15 (usually).
