I'm excited about pollinating 1367 Rose with the 1314 Beauchemin, and 1314 Beauchemin pollinated by the 340 Beauchemin...next year I'm thinking about pollinating 1354 Checkon (if I can find one)with the 1314Beauchemin x 340 Beauchemin I'm working on this year,praying to the germinating Gods for success..exactly..I wish I had a 1068,998, 1041.

Here's my top 20, starting with my line-up for '09. All will be planted over the next 5 or 6 years.

1354 Checkon
1407 Wolf
1408 Daletas
805 Pukos
720 Rose (712x723)
607 Liggett (backup for the 720 or 805)
1310 Pitura (another backup for '09, in case I have bad luck with both 720 and 805)

1413 Werner
1420 LaRue
1139 Sherwood
1378 Pitura
904 Sperry (1225x1180)
1255 VanKooten
1332 Werner
1307 est. Porier
1445 Marsh (1407x695)
805 dmg. Wolf (935x1407)
1556 Werner
1469 Checkon
1271 Sperry (1556x1502)

These are the ingredients for my 2000-pound project. I wish I could plant them all this year! I can't wait to see what the 1413, 1255, and 904 will do. The 720 Rose, 904 Sperry, and 607 Liggett could grow some huge pumpkins. Everybody should join the PGPGA so that they won't miss out on my sweet crosses in the coming years. You'll get some of the best 723 Bobier genetics from my 723 inbreeding project, and some powerful seeds with 705 Stelts mitochondrial dna, like the 904 Sperry x 1378 Pitura that I have planned. I also hope to make a 1307 Poirier x 1332 Werner for all of the orange lovers out there.

Richard... contact me in the fall about the 1354. I got a couple of backups, so I might have one left over that I can send to you.
Peace,
Tom

Han Solo, you better get that thing running, they know about the secret yoda seeds.

Tom, I have another good one for you: 808.5 Gibson. Its a 712 x 846 cross. I'm doing it this year and could probably get you in touch with one.

Greencastle, PA

LOL Brett. Is there a 1354 in your line-up again? I bet it will grow your first 1500lber.

4/2/2009 9:07:31 PM

Greencastle, PA

Thanks for the offer, GPD. However, I already have more than enough seeds. I hope the 808.5 does well for you. It grew a 1200lber for Mr. Gibson, right?

Two 1200 pounders that I know of. Very under-planted seed.

m3f2, I believe the 1375 Oliver cross is 1385 Jutras X 1317 Oliver according to the seeds I got from Michael Oliver.

4/3/2009 7:49:40 PM

CM-you are correct. The 1375 OLIVER is 1385 JUTRAS x 1317 OLIVER. I had my wife type those in for me and the envelope was a little confusing to her.
