            | Spence*** | Home of happy lil plants | Its a week later so I haveto assume that winning melon out there grew atleast one pound.

            | ESheel31(team sLamMer) | Eastern Shore of VA | What if it only grew half a pound? | 8/18/2016 9:11:48 PM | 
		
            | Porkchop | Central NY | What size bags do you melon guys use?....the ones you fill w sand?.. | 8/19/2016 12:02:51 AM | 
		
            | Smoky Mtn Pumpkin (Team GWG) | sevierville, Tn | i think Spence is using 1 lb size. most seem to use the 10 or 20 lb size from what i have seen at the weighoffs !
 Frank uses the 50 lb size. but this is not recomended for the average grower. Takes years of practice to use that size.

            | Holloway | Bowdon, GA | I don't think Spence is using sand. More like crack. | 8/19/2016 10:10:03 AM |

            | lbright | South Arkansas | Jerry Vaughn's Russellville melon weighed 246.  | 8/21/2016 7:31:32 PM | 
		
            | Charles B.(Team GWG/WWGG) | Grant, AL | It was a beauty too Lloyd!  We took our 238 Holloway melon and it weighed 187 lbs.  I think Jerry is planning on taking that melon to Cullman next weekend.  So that is one big melon that we know will be there! | 8/21/2016 8:25:28 PM |
