Thanks Joseph, I really love following your threads. Thanks for the quick answer. I will have to try this on some of my favorite tomatoes. While I have you here may I ask what would you say is the minimum melon varieties I would need to grow to get enough genes for a good landrace? I love melons more than anything but they are nearly impossible to grow here w/o pesticides.
