Pembroke, New Hampshire

I'm growing the 1689, along with the Rodonis1566 and the Werner1556.5. Crossing these should produce some genetics for next year. I'm holding my 1385 to see what it does.

Nice JB, I was hoping to put some 898 Knauss into a 1689 but I have no more room to plant unless I plant in LongBeards patch....What do you say LB? Got room for 2.....lol

Im crossing the 1566 and 1556 as well..
my other cross hoping to put the 1502 into the 1470.
still looking for the best cross for the 1207 & 694.
might put the 985 into the 694 and 1566 into the 1207.?.

have changed my planed crosses three-thousand and forty two times already.......almost starting time.

I think it is interesting that Joe crossed the 998.6, that he grew his 1689 with what is possibly the best looking ever pumpking over 1000#, the 1225 Jutras.

I can't wait to see what the outcome "looks" like. Hopefully a few as pretty as the 1225, but over 1500.

I'm growing the 1689. I plan to cross it with the 1290 Poirier...hopefully that will equal big and orange. Great genetics all around.
