I can't seem to find this back cross on the 2007 GPC list but that doesn't mean it's not out there.
If no one has a seed of this back cross this year but you have those two seeds for the patch this year, please contact me.
I'd love to be able to do this BX myself but available 1068's aren't easy to come by.
Thanks
Duane

I don't know how I overlooked that. Out of the three seed request that I sent out, I did send one to Mr. Jutras asking for that particular seed. I hope he likes garlic. LOL

If not, Hopefully it will be included in the SNGPG seed promo and I am lucky enough to get in on that.

I did grow the 1110 Wallace this year, not my heaviest but it was my favorite. Nice and orange. Thank You!

The 1306 Jutras is it for now. Dick made another interesting cross with the 1450 though: 1270 D Walllace (1450 X1502) was 16% heavy & LONG!

Thanks Brooks!
I plan on showing up with the winning pumpkin, your just gonna have to settle for second place next year. ;)
I have a few excellent Mentors that have been helping me get my soil right. With the right seed and lots of work, I should beat my goal of doubling this years personal best of 608.
I've got a good feeling about this particular BX and believe we will be seeing a lot of heavy pumpkins from it next year.

I gotta figure out how to beat that Werner guy, and that ''got Stelts guy, and also them Mckie Brothers, maybe they will let me win next year, Allen Gibson and Steve Razo said they would take it easy on me next year,,,, ha! All them growers who entered pumpkins has a chance next year, just look what Buddy Green and Vader(Palkovich) grew this year, some real monsters! alot of great growers go to Canfield thats for sure. oh, Dont count Christy Dieff, Rea , Brunts, Rose, or Parks out ether! Heck, I bet that rookie grower Bill Bosworth takes a monster there next year,lol. Anyone can win that weigh off, its a toss up! Its a great weigh off to go to with out a doubt.

You had great coverage of that weigh off on your site Duane.
