               I think so there has been alot of intrest in the last year. Lot more good seeds avalible and more people growing them. More people making controlled crosses.

               I'm guessin so..TT, the world of Lopes has now been OPENED!!! Will bet that 100# lope will be grown w/in the next two (not this one) seasons!!! 2011 is the year of the NEW Genetic Cross!!! 2012 is the 90#er, and 2012 will make folks get a "LIL BIT" interested in the possibility of the 100#er!!! That is unless PknHeadVic, don't grow a 100#er this year!!!! LOL Serious...Peace, Wayne I base this theory, on the way that Melons have exploded, in weight...since the melon info was shared on this incredible site!!!! Lopes are only two years behind!!! Grow em BIG!!!
