Syracuse, NY

...one of each of my own that I sell to advance their individual PBs and whatever sprouts that is potentially a monster-maker butt leaning toward interim-older, such as a 1969 Haist '16, judging by the 1604 Robinson;
Else, the 839 Sandercock, 1157 Zaychkowsky, 513.5 Vincent and 800.5 Melnyk that was from it, 1215 Young, several orange Engels and I'd better do a 1912 Carter or two, lol.
There are plenty of those Cooper seeds that Brett sent me that need my dirt!
1756 H/J could be the main beast - So many seeds, so little space! later---eric g

2/21/2023 9:28:31 PM

Marshfield, Ma, USA

I'm going with the 1977 Rea.

Princeville, IL

I sold ( gave away) my commercial pumpkin business so more time for AG’s. Hoping to break my miserable PB of 997. Hopefully soil improvements, better nutrient, insect, disease, and water management will help along with 2350 Geinger, 2287 Sadig, 2168.5 Werner, 2006 Wolf, and 1461 Rodenbaugh for big and orange and a few of my own seeds for bright orange. Hopefully can now make it to a couple of weighoffs and try to win an HD award

Oak Grove, Mn

thank you ag teacher when you sent me a huge package of seeds for my new group of growers. Unfortunately...they didn't pursue it like I had hoped. PB of 997....with my new sand...i think no matter what you do will beat mine. I havent made it to a weighoff for 4 years or is it 5...how about a friendly competition...best weight + hd award. Thank you for your contributions to this hobby. Let me know if you wish a friendly challenge.

Plymouth, MN

Probably
2261 Schmit
2350 Gienger
with 2520 Schmit and 2283 Barlow/Jacobus as alternates

2/25/2023 2:29:54 PM

Oak Grove, Mn

we are thinking alike Craig. I have 2 seeds of the 2261 so one is a backup. My backup for the 2350 is the 1540.5 Anderson. It could be interesting if at two weigh offs we bring the same genetics.

2/25/2023 3:09:55 PM

Plymouth, MN

I was thinking the same thing when I saw what you were growing. I should have two sets of everything except the 2350 as soon as Rick mails seeds from the Wisconsin auction out. It'd be good to cross these two lines of big and orange.

craig, I agree with the crossing. I saw that Zacman was interested in "Ruby". He did not win the bid though. That might be a better source for the "Tiger King" half. As we get closer to final start selection, maybe we should talk about sharing some pollen.

2/26/2023 2:12:05 AM

Nowy Targ, Polska

2006 Wolf
839 Sandercock
1665 MacDonald

3/1/2023 2:03:22 PM

Not growing for orange but if I was I would grow 1977 Rea, 2006 Wolf, 1417 Kisamore and Ruby
