State record giant watermelon
 

Thought you all might enjoy this. This weekend, in Hamilton, Ohio, I broke the Ohio State record for giant watermelon. I named her Lucille and fretted and fussed over her all summer long. My hard work paid off. Isn't she glorious! :)

State record?! That's outstanding, Barbee- congratulations! She IS amazing!:shock:

Great now lets eat the thing.:lol:

I used to have to pick them when I was a kid working for a local farmer and some of them used to look that big to me then; but of course I was only 12 at the time.

That is huge!!!!!

Congratulations on a job well done.

Wow! well done, Barbee. My largest was about 30 pounds this summer, but that was large enough. I can't even begin to imagine growing one this size. Congratulations! BTW, how much larger was it than the previous melon?

Congratulations! Our state record here in Va. was broken too. Ours was 218.5 lb but yours looks bigger!

Wow, almost 300 pounds! Oh, my back... :) Congratulations

That is one impressive watermelon. What is the secret to growing a watermelon that big?

How long does it take to eat a 300 lb. watermelon? And, how do you fit it in the refrigerator? :D
