Andy,

I grew the 1269 And it got wiped out by a late frost. You can't argue with the genetics in that seed. I would like to try that one again.
I grew the 1187 in it's place. I got off to a late start because of the late frost we had, but this plant was by far the best in the patch this year the whole way through.
I lost the pumpkin to a BES on day 45 at app. 620lbs. I patched it with silicon and it kept growing right to the end. It ended up a real nice orange color and just over 900lbs.

I grew the reverse cross of the 733 Ebbett, the 864 Ebbett '08 but unfortunatly never had a chance to put it in the ground, dropped the plant coming up the steps that rolled all the way to the bottom,,lol. And I wasnt even drinking, ha!.
That 733 and the 864 Ebbett (901 x 1402) is on my short list to be grown. I really like the 901 Hunt in that cross.

Another cross I like that the 1402 that was used for a cross is the 945 Foss 08 (1402 x 1207 Young), that seed will be grown next year.
