We do give some away. But a lot of it goes in the freezer. We do throw a lot away. It comes so fast when it starts, it's really hard to keep up.

i've got a big piece of black plastic laid out to warm up the ground, in about a week i'll plant a couple of pumpkins, a couple of watermelons, and as many butternut as i can squeeze in the rest of the room.
got these watermelon seeds that are supposed to produce round (spherical, i know they're all round) 25 pounders....we'll see

We have canned tomatoes. Might do some green beans this year. Freezer space is limited.

Crimson Sweet are my go to melon. When we truck farmed we did real good with them. My sandy soil is a pain most of the time, but it does make for some sweet melons.

Yes, they are shaped like a ball. Not sure about weight, but that sounds like it's in the neighborhood.

Went in the woods and checked on my GDP's. They almost four weeks in flower and deffinately purple ( almost black). I'm not too happy with these seeds. They only vegged for about three weeks before they went into flowering. Wish they would of had a longer veg time, maybe I would get a decent harvest off of them. Hopefully end up with almost a half ounce from each,... we'll see in four to five weeks.

Most all of my fall/winter seed testers started flowering at 3-4 weeks. Most were about a foot tall. Cold killed all of them, so I can't comment on yield.

Yeah, the site is having problems again today. Hopefully it will be cleared up come harvest time.
