You know how radiation causes mutations. Well I know it would be nearly impossible and very dangerous to the average backyard gardener to try this but is there anyone out there that has experiance on what some of the resuts might be? If you gave just the right amount of radiation, would something weird happen? like a fruit that grows a 100lbs. per day? (don't we wish) or vines that are as big around as a fire hose? Adam

Now that some foods are being legally treated with radium I suspect some creative person will not take to long to figure out a box of pumpkin seeds could slide through with the real food being nuked. Who is to say some creative person has not hung a seed on a line behind the person being xrayed already. Who would tell if they did?

I have x-rayed seed with a x-ray tube and a radioactive source. I exposed them to various intensities of radiation . I never planted them. I sent some to fellow out east I think his name was Bruce.

Some of the HITTERS Main vines are already as big as a Fire Hose!
Check out the biggest fruit at the weigh-offs BEFORE they cut to 1" of the stem. They are massive!
