Seed experiment

This seed experiment deal is great!  Exactly what I have been hoping for.   Count me in.  I may have an interesting set up for what seeds to use as well.  Please lend me you ear, and let me know what you think.
 
Len Stellpflug and I are running our own little experiment where we are both growing the 730 Stellpflug and 650 Lloyd  (935x880).   We are both crossing the 730 X 650 and Vice versa.    In 2002 we plan on planting seeds from these crosses and comparing our data.   
 
The idea behind these crosses is the same old stuff that i have been blabbing about since the beginning- hybrid vigor.   The 730 and 650 have backgrounds that when mixed together, may produce a truly huge pumpkin.
 
It would be an honor to me to have many of my fellow growers test this future seed out in their own patches.  I would love to collect the data and tabulate the results, as I have been doing that all through the winter anyways. 
 
If there was enough interest, we could grow seeds from both mine and Len's fruit.  This could provide data that could be very useful in future seed selecting processes.  Thank you for considering. 
 
Even if my seed is not selected for the group, this experiment will go on.  Lemme know if you are interested and I would be happy to hook you up.
