Looking for this seed or better would be a 689.5 Sandercock x Self seed.
Best regards,

I'll hook you up Michel. Just give me a week or 2 to see if I have both or just the 689.5. BF

Guess there's absolutely no rush. We're even having snow showers in Atlanta this morning.
Thanks BF,
If I don't get these, I'll self my 497 if it sprouts so I am not stuck by any means. In the case of the Reiss seed, I like it because it went heavy to the charts.

Hi Michel:

I have lots of 689.5's left. That one produced a lot of seeds and they surely do throw out bright orange pumpkins. Check your mailbox next week.

Group hug...thanks for taking care of that Ned.

Just to remind everyone, my first time grower friend grew Ned's 689.5 in a very small spot and ended up with this;

Your on Rocky! Hope those high water reports coming out of Sayre have not washed your patch away. That would break my heart if all of that hard work on your new compost pile got washed away and you had to resort to knocking the dust of your antique bibibobolator to try and make a run this year. I have had a hard winter trying to make patch amendments with this monkey on my back.

I got your 497 to sprout and have 2 sets that are self pollinated. The plant was behind the others and never got a spot, instead of tossing it I planted it on the edge of patch growing into the yard. Females have been selfed or crossed with the 654 Troy,If I have some selfed seeds in the fall you are more than welcome to some.
