We are pleased to report that we have a seed production booked for this season with seed selected from 5 "special" pumpkins we grew here in 2006. All five specimens exhibited tremendous colour, shape, growth and no "Dill Rings" (LOL). Their weights ranged from 400 to 700 lbs. plus. The 5 crosses involved are from some reknowned classic orange giants: 1016 Daletas x 810 Dill
1016 Daletas x 810 Dill
810 Dill x 1016 Daletas
846 Calai x 1016 Daletas
670 Daigle x 1016 Daletas
None of this seed was offered this year on our seed list, however, a few growers, including us, will be trying some this season and we'll see what happens this Fall. If the crop does well, depending on the weather naturally, we hope to share photos with everyone. We wish everyone another fun and exciting season! Danny

If you like an 810 Dill selfed Brooks, it was done in 2003 by Madman Marc AKA. Marc Sawtelle, and the fruit weighed 666 lbs.
