My Lineup:
1041.5 McKie (842X1068) The potential of this one blows the mind. 20% heavy, kept growing right up to the end, etc. That's why it gets my biggest plot and why it will be the pollinator for most of my pumpkins this year. I'm really excited to see what it can bring to some of the ORANGE AND HUGE genetic lines I've been trying to breed the last two seasons.
1689 Jutras (998.6 X 1225) So much bigger than anything ever grown before 2008. Wow, and it didn't have sag lines or interior splitting. The 1689 will be the pollinator for my 983.5 and will bring together virtually every great genetic line in the world: (998.6 (including 898, 723, 846, 845), 1225 (including 705 and 845), 1370)
937.5 Isom 07 (1446.5 X 998.6) I've got to grow my own or nobody else will.
983.5 Isom 06 (1370 X 1225) I didn't grow this one last year and was VERY sorry I didn't when Rod Raunig grew a 1220.5 off it that weighed 20% heavy (grown in 400 sq. ft. too!) You only have to be beaten by your own seed once to vow to never let it happen again.
1524 Starr (227 Leland X 985 Werner). I'm growing this at the opposite end of the plot from the 983.5 just in case the 983.5 gets eaten by a deer or something.
983.5. Another 983.5. This is the "control" plant for my experimental plants, which all get 36 sq. ft., grown Anaconda pruning style.
395 Isom 07 (955 Brinkley X 998.6) My 3 yr. old, James, grew this one last year with a little help from Dad. Now he's growing his own seed! Anaconda.
846 Isom 06 (1253 Sperry X 1200 Trumm). This one has never been grown but on paper has virtually the same genetics as all of the 1068 X 1370s that are out there. Emily, my 5 year-old will grow this one as an anaconda.
1038 Isom 06 (1200 Trumm X open) . Nadia, my 8 year-old, will be growing her own seed (ok, Dad helped a LOT on this one). Anaconda.
1020 Isom 07 (998.6 X 955 Brinkley). This baby should be orange!
