First, I have to say that I received lot of great seeds, just too much to plant just myself. So I decided to give oppurtunity to join in this insane hobby. I have given seeds forward to about 15-20 people, including Finnish record holder(okey, it just 77kg but wait till Autumn...)

My Line-up(might still change, sowing within couples of weeks)

905 Toftness 2005
1128 Pitura 2006
1011 Peters 2006?2005?
691 Duchezeau 2004
729 Young 2006 est.
1046 Bowles 2006 (Jean, lets see who get bigger,lol)
1026 Vanheuckelom 2005
950 Hooker 2006
576 Gilmore 2006
329 J.Andrews 2005

And Squash:

548 Duchezeau 2003
625 Vanheuckelom 2002
606 Peters 2006?2005?
735 Zaychkowsky dmg. year?

Plus some giant watermelons,thanks Jean!

If someone have any idea how to cross, please let me know.

Sorry to hear theo. I hope for better weather up there in Ameland. Temperatures have dropped here too in the last days. Snow in the mountains, yes, but none here down in the valley. So nothing really to complain about in Austria. Theo I hope you beat me again this year. If you do, do it with my 658, lol. Best of luck!
