I got a bunch of nice seeds from my 713 Winey fruit crossed with the 275 Van Hook. (Interestingly, the fruit was only a bit over 40 days old when picked, but 99% of the seeds I looked through were plump and mature.) Should have both good orange and size genetics. If anybody wants a few, shoot me an email (listed in my diary) and I'll send a bubble when the seeds have dried.

Around 480 seeds so don't be bashful!

Nice shape and color on that one ! - I'll send you an E-mail - It should make a good cross with my 94 Fanning (421 Drum x self) - which was the 1290 Porier x 1102 Pukos cross for next year - If I get any seeds from it (It's been sitting in the garage on a pallet for several weeks and still holding on - hoping to keep it for Halloween) ( PIC - http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc189/JDFanning_bucket/PICT0002-1.jpg )- Poor plant had about 6-8 vine splits a couple on the main and others on the side vines from a big wind storm that it got caught up in but still managed 2 decent pumpkins (107Lbs and 94lbs.)

I do have about 400 seeds from the 320 Fanning (851 Fowler x self) - and around 250 from the 187 Fanning (851 Fowler x 763 Young) they had both started to break down so had to retrieve the seeds - ( PIC http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc189/JDFanning_bucket/320Fanning.jpg ) - If you'd like a few of them sent to you in exchange.

Also, I got around 100 seeds from my 566* Winey x 713 Winey cross... I don't think many people will be interested in them. But if you want to tinker with genetics, you're welcome to 'em...

Very nice looking pumpkin - great color! How did that plant hold up in hot weather? I am looking for a tough plant since these southern midwest summers get well over 100 for a month straight.

Luke - the 851 Fowler plant held up really well in the heat here - we had almost a month straight with 100+ days and it kept right on growing. I've got plenty of seeds from the 320 which is a selfed pumpkin grown on it if you'd like to give them a try. If so just e-mail me @ JDFanning at SBCGlobal.net and I'll send you some.

Luke, not sure who that message was meant for, but the 713 plant I grew seemed to be the most heat-tolerant of the four I grew. We had about 20 days of 90+ with a couple over 100.
