aggc only has one planted that went 1459. why didn't it get planted more in 2009 after it went so big?

It was grown twice here in NY that I know of in 09. Bill Bobier had a likely personal best off it, but the bottom fell out when he went to lift it for the weighoff. Bill Cartwright had what would have been his first 1000+, but that one started leaking from the bottom when he picked it up a couple days before the contest.

I'm giving it a shot this year--has some definite potential if you ask me. I grew the 1231 (Mother to 1376) last year, was my best plant before disease wiped me out. Like the genetics though.

matt I think it is a sleeper seed. I will be watching your diary. I wish I had room in my patch for one.
