So Mark, will all members receive a copy of each top 10 growers story of how he or she grew their melon ? That is something I would really appreciate seeing.I am sorry if that has already been covered. I just do not remember.

Greg, I think I can answer that for you. The top ten growers must donate 25 seeds to the club; 10 of which will be raffled to members and the others will be auctioned to raise prize money for the club. So the answer to your question is not unless you win in the raffle or purchase them in one of our auctions.There are good ways to gets lots of good FREE seeds though if you want to go that route. I and lots of other growers on here are happy to freely share our seeds. You will just not get high profile seeds such as a 239 Leonard or 255 Mitchell.

John,you Will get a top ten seed as I am giving 2 of my 260.5s to every member in there seed pack,I will randomly give a 251 Cantrel & 234 Berry in seed packs,but not all seed packs,Only the Top 5 are obligated to donate to club for raffle,6 thru 10 is there choice to do or not to do.I think they will knowing these guys,so it should not be a problem.There may be other top tens randomly given also.I have only received Dave & Darrells thus far, I will randomly give out others if available.There will be how to grow info from all top ten in newsletter if they choose to participate.I hope they do.

Oh man I'm excited about that 260.5. I was trying to figure out how to get some of those. For anyone quiestioning membership, there's your answer right there. It's a no brainer. You're the man Mark, thanks.

He is sib or sibbed self polinated, or from the same seed? Is that sibling?

I mean "hey"

A sibling would be a sister plant. Like my sibling recreation of the 239 Leonard genetics. The Leonards were nice enough to share seeds with me out of their 197 and 211 Leonards this past spring.So I thought that might be a wonderful cross to redo. I mean it certainly worked well the first time, producing the 239 Leonard seeds.

Selfed is when you only have one plant and you have to use a male flower from that plant to pollinate a female on the same plant.... Sibbed is if you are growing 2 plants of the same seed and you use pollen from one of the plants to pollinate the other plant..

You see my parents didn't include that in my lesson on the birds and the bees. I guess with humans it's a little different. thank goodness:)!!!
