Thanks guys. I am a believer in growing your own seeds. Not sure why, but they always do best for me! Probably because I got in a tit for tat with Joze about seeds evolving to cope with local conditions. (I argued against it) I said that there is no way a seed can adapt in a few generations. Maybe I was wrong?

I dont know but local tomato seeds did better for me this year... I tried about half and half.

I ran the stats on pumpkins and this did not hold true for pumpkins. For pumpkins, it was statistically better to use someone else's seed, oddly enough!

Love the melon pics!
