Mine isn't set, but I have a good idea on 5 of the 6 plants I'm gonna grow. As of right now I plan on having:

239 Leonard (197 Leonard x 211 Leonard)
260 Clementz (255 Mitchell x 239 Leonard)
228 Dawson (285 Edwards x open)
211 Leonard (207 Hunt x 216 Mitchell)
110 Bright(242 Carson x open) x 291 Kent

Not sure what to plant in spot 6, and may even change this up some. Have my eye on a couple others if I can get them on the cheap.

Any ideas.

If I had healthy plants from all my seed collection and was ready to plant today I think I would choose the following six:

171 Masterson (197 Leonard x 211 Leonard)
260.5 Clementz (255 Mitchell x 239 Leonard)
199.5 Mudd 2010 (255 Mitchell x 178.5 Mudd 04)
255 Mitchell (168 Johnson x 157 Bright)
285 Edwards (157 Bright x 168 Johnson)
211 Leonard 07 (207 Hunt x 216 Mitru)

It is very difficult to choose though as I have lots of other good genetics that I would love to give a try.And again my deep felt thanks to everyone who generously helped me out with their seeds.

Patch expansion went on this fall and I have more room so these are the proven or somehwat proven seeds that are going in:

165(B) Cantrell 10 (209 Kent x 225 Bright) 1 seed grown, 1 melon over 250 lbs. More than one going in.
209 Kent (255 Mitchell x 251 Mudd) I've seen what it can do in a weed patch and I gotta know what it can really do.
285 Edwards (157 Bright x 168 Johnson) Proven over 240
178.5 Mudd (not sure) Proven over 250 and dense
267 Edwards (255 Mitchell x 262 Bright) Proven over 250
191 Carson (?) Planted 2 last year and they were my fastest gainers until the varmints got em

Other possible proven: 35 Kent, 255 Mitchell, 239 Leonard
There will be a number of unproven seeds to be planted.

228 Dawson 2011 (285 Edwards x open)
194.5 Mudd 2008 (231 Mitchell x 255 Mitchell)

194.5 Mudd 2008 might be a sleeper seed based on genetics, going to try it out.

My 231 Mitchell seed grew my biggest melon last year. I think crossing it with the 255 is probably a great cross. I would certainly grow that one if I had it.
