a 1083 is going in my patch this year, probably going to cross it with a 1502. This seed has been way overlooked.

Anyone else here have a 1041.5 McKie? I have one but it is a very thin and sort of small seed. Just wondering if I got an odd one or if they are all like that.

I included one in your GVGO 2007 membership seed package for you. I hope it does well for you. It was over 12% heavy as well. Good luck.

Phil,

Thanks. I promise it will get all the loving tender care it can receive and the prime position in my garden.

I personally believe that the 1068x842 + reverse and the 1446x1420 + reverse crosses are going to do very well this coming year.
