watermelons

Yippee,

I have just harvested the largest watermelon I have ever grown.  OK,  I know
many of you have grown larger ones,  but here on the so calif coast,  they are
not that easy to grow,  at least for me.  It is a Tiger Baby,  one of those
smaller ice box varieties,  and it weighs in at just under 20 lbs.  I have not
cut into it yet,  but its smaller sisters have tasted great this year. :):):)

Tiger baby is a hybrid melon.  Has anyone ever tried to grow seed collected
from a hybrid melon?   It is growing with 2 other varieties of watermelon that
were blooming at the same time so there would have been cross-pollination,
but do you think it is worth trying to save its seed?
