Ok here's an orange lot that I think many people would like to have. I'm sure there are lots of growers with good seeds to offer, but that is not what I would like to see for this lot. I would like to offer these seeds to growers with one year or less growing the big ones. I was very fortunate to get some great seeds for my 2nd season growing and had some nice pumpkins to show for it. I would like to give that opportunity to a new grower. Here's the seeds in this lot.

1101 NORTHRUP (670 DAIGLE X 810 DILL)
891 NORTHRUP (810 DILL X 1230 DALETAS)
629 NORTHRUP (1230 DALETAS X 810 DILL)
845 NESBITT (846 CALAI X 723 BOBIER)
621 ZUHLKE (1101 NORTHRUP X SELF)
615 ZUHLKE (1101 NORTHRUP X 1125 FRANTZ)

Don't worry if you don't have great seeds to offer. I am open to anything. Maybe you have some extra kelp or mycorrhizae around or a little insecticide. Maybe a good pair of used socks. lol. Make me an offer.Steve Zuhlke

933 Bobier, 978.6 Berard, 1217 Bailey. I am hoping to win, just for the 1101, although, they are all good looking seeds. Thanks, Brad

So Steve, when you say "one year or less growing the big ones", how big are you talking about?

Nice idea to get some new guys some seeds! I see some good ones here Steve. (If I were you) I might just accept the green Rhino now. Doesn't get any better than that! Imagine how cool you'd look, a green Rhinosaurus in the back window of your truck! Think about it. LOL! AleX Noel.

Steve, your 621 pumpkin is the reason my wife wants to grow pumpkins this year. She likes orange and would really like to grow a big, perfect orange pumpkin. These seeds you are offering are the seeds to do it. That's why I have to offer:

1 - 243 Wolf 04 (658 Wolf x 801.5 Stelts) 658 = 846 Calai x self
2 - 220 Kincaid 98 (3x 1006 Greer 96 and 1x 887 Orr 95)
1 - 266 Wursten 04 (874 Dill x self) - this is the orangest pumpkin ever grown in Holland - according to me
2 - blue hubbard seeds
1 - Indian head penny 1900
1 - wheatie penny 1929
1 - NICKEL penny (special WWII edition 1943)
1 - bag of original exclusive Dutch "drop" - ask any Dutch person in MI and their mouth will start to water.

Hi Steve,
I can offer seeds from Prescott Fond Blanc, Noir de Carmes, and Charentais melons, Galeux D'Eysines and Musquee de Provence (pumpkin) squash, and any tomato seeds you want from my heirlooms (about 50 varieties total). I can email you an excel list of them.
I have some mycore seed innoculant and could add some of that as well.
Along with your 615 and 621 (which I currently have), I can promise you that the 1101, the 891, and the 412 will all hit the ground this year.
If you would prefer Ag seeds or some nice eccentrics instead (used mouse traps, delapidated farm eqt., etc) just let me know what you need.

it has whinnie the pooh floating on a ballon on the back and whinny the pooh rubbing his tummy on the front saying "theres a rumbly in my tumbly" Lol
and a silver penny made in 1943 during the war when copper was scarce in great condition.
and a promise to plant the 1101 this year and treat it like a king in my patch.

thanks

Now, now, Johny Pumpkinseed. You are offering the good man a silver penny made in 1943 and I am offering a nickel one. We're both wrong because it is actually steel coated with zinc and not a trace of silver or nickel, it only looks nickel.

Sorry for misleading you Steve. :)

Steve Zuhlke~ Hi, my name's Kevin. I'm a senior at California State University Stanislaus who just got permission from the biology department to grow some AG's on their property. I'll be under the wing of many plant Dr.'s. I'm in my 2nd year growing and recently this expanded my area to 100x100ft. I'm thinking about changing my career to something in plant science. I don't have much to offer other than what you mentioned. Although, I do have some good Thor-Lo socks...only one owner. What's your shoe size?
