Kiwioldgirl, perhaps it is only the thicker fleshed squash that tastes better?

I am going to take up the Real Seeds Company challenge and attempt to breed my own cultivar.

Has anyone else done this before (in this forum)? I imagine the lack of weeds would increase the yield weight through nutrient availability, which can only help. My two varieties this year had very dense fruit and what seemed to me to be extremely plump seeds. I realise it was a very good season this year for pumpkins.
