I am going to grow again after a two year absence. I can watch the boards to see which current seeds are hot, but I have several older seeds that I am not sure of. Some of those include the 1107.8 Girgus; 986 Hester; 869.5 Calai amoung many others. Seeds range from 1998-2001.

Anyone interested? I would be interested in exchanging for some more current seeds.

I am looking for color (green, orange, white, blue...I don't care, just not mixed or that ugly salmon color), good skin (I don't care much for crackled) and size. Since I am not familliar with the current seed stock, please include offspring from any seeds you are offering. I have had three offers already for the 869.5, but haven't accepted any yet.

Also, I will finish cataloging my seeds tonight or tomorrow and put up a list. I may have others people are interested in.

Gus, Keep that 869 if you want ORANGE! Great to see you are going to grow again! If you need anything send me an e-mail.

Good Luck,

hi gus, do you have a 1225 that you want to trade,

Sorry, no 1225. I do have some other nice seeds though. I will have the complete list up here tomorrow, after I update my squash seeds. I have at least 9 seeds with the Calai 846 in the cross, and 17 with the Stelts 801.5. Many of these had not been grown when I got them, so I don't know how much info is out there now. I would love to get back on AGGC if someone can tell me how!

Squash, I knew a guy that quit growing pumpkins a few years ago and he was from Columbus,Ohio. Are you John Maston(Pumpkinhead335)?

No, John is my best friend though...he got me into pumpkins. I am the big squash advocate...Gus Smithhisler. My PB is only a 507# squash in '03, but that was in a shady patch. Hopefully I will beat that now that I have a nice open patch.

Thank you to all who replied that I should not trade this seed. It is truly nice to be among friends who are selfless and watch out for each other. I am still considering trading the 869.5, though I reallize it is a pretty special seed.
