mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

These are questions that are hard to answer and feel confident about your
findings..........and of course all growers would like to know the
answer.................there are individuals that have there theories......but
not enough input to form any conclusion.......................for the
majority....................its not that simple...................because luck
seems to be a major factor..............take the 825 shy........a killer seed
but rapid growth  probs........for some disaster and Ron Lagras(and others a
hit).........a hit.!!!! kinda like most seed!!......hit or miss........AS a
group
on the NET we can make profound observations........such as blossom end
splits............are they more prevailent in thick blossom ends that split
internaly across the navel............or is it the thin walls at the blossom
that are also a prob..................THE FACT IS THAT EVERYONE THAT GROWS AN
AG can help with their observation!!!!!!!!GET THIS thru you
heads!!..........YOU'RE all valuable !!!!!....there is so much that is
unkown...............that no one can say for sure,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, last year
my best luck came from a mother pumpkin that had a hole at the blossom end the
mother seed............i consider a hole different than a
split............................I didn't know enough to look at the
cause!!!....Iwas too busy crying.............but it didn't get passed or luck
was with me and didn't open.................in the second
generation...................which then proposes the question.............do
two  average offspring of awesome parents produce a whopper????  Let your
thoughts be known!!.............brock
