Who is going to make some interesting crosses this year? Any body doing the 845 X 898 or others like that. How about crossing 730 Stellphlug.

i won't be MAKING the 845 X 898 but PLANTING the
1104.5 Hester which i believe is that cross or the reverse,
along with the 869.5 Calai, 1180 Daletas, 582 Hester and the 842 Eaton, for starters--i gotta keep myself under control! but how?!? oh, yeah, 1370 Rose, too. DOH!

The 551 Brunst 05 is 730 Stellpflug x 905 Ailts.
If you want to grow it drop me an email. I have an extra.

Hey Eric, how about "head to head" Canada vs the USA" 869.5 Calai derby??

Got any choice seeds that we could put up?? Heck, this is the Lawman's seed growing on my land, so I am going to throw everything at it this year........interested?

Yea, I did those. And I sent Chip Brunst the 730 plant he grew last year....it's an experience to mail a plant via USPS lemme tell ya'. That seed produces very thick walled pumpkins....average over variance is about 16%.

i deleted this reply about 5 times so far, but here it is...i am so wishy-washy!
ha ha ha:
"heyyyy, them's 'grow a bigger pumpkin than you' words, lol!
i am not a really competitive person, maybe that is why
my PB is 728.5, with the 845 Bobier no less!
what you want, big and orange, but the only
factor being weight? i would rather pay a hundred bucks
than give up a top seed, lol! hmmm, i've never COMPETED
in pumpkin-growing before....against anyone i knew at all...
but, times are changin', and it would be really cool to have a 'thing' going on to keep me motivated.
so, if that would work for you, then that would be in my
vision of the future, if you'd like...
CvsUS...the code name.
...600 bucks on basic amendments so far...DARN!!! eric g

Well, I have two 1180 Daletas seeds and thought about a sibb cross, but then I could trade one for a 670 Diagle (along with a left n..), but then the 1420 La Rue is nagging me to cross with a 1016 Daletas,,, or a 1180 cross with a 834*..... I hate this time of year, but on a happy note the patch is almost done and looks awesome!

Not a competitive person...come on Eric, I thought all of "us" had some special qualities and one of them being competitive. Since your PB is 728.5 and mine is 577.5, you have much more land at your disposal, I'd think that things are swinging in your favour. (thats right we spell it favour and you spell it favor) So, I would bet $600 bucks but will send my seed to Jake van Kooten to grow for me in his soil. How does that sound?......you in??

OK, since we both have some nice seeds for some potential great crosses, we work out a seed swap and throw in a trophy that is awarded yearly? NY vs BC.....??

yeah, the 600 bucks was just what i have spent on soil amendments so far...290 of it being Endo Plus from Joel, lol...
short on time at the moment, but my seed list is impressive
so we can probaly work something out. in a bit---eric g
