We have a bunch of seeds available from my son's 866.5 pumpkin. The cross is 1135 Bhaskaran X 994 Bhaksaran. It quit growing right after Labor Day due to the monsoon rains, and it went 21% heavy. The 994 grew orange pumpkins that didn't get very big due to a broken stump and vine borers. Pictures are in my 2010 diary:http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=147565 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=146836
If you are interested in sending a bubble, send me an email.

I would love a few. I have a 301 from 1059 Vincent Young open. It was my first year growing if you want a few in my bubble I'd be happy to send them.

Dave's seeds are great. We had a terrible growing season in 2010, rain about every other day starting in mid May and then none after Labor day, and we still got a personal best.

I'll second the opinion "Dave's seeds are great." I grew a 450 lb pumpkin last year on a secondary vine, in poor soil, with a hole in my stump the size of my thumb, and a split stem dripping fluid. The plant and fruit refused to die.

3 bubbles have been received and sent out so far to MN, VT and OH. I will send the rest out as soon as they are received.

Another note on Dave Bhaskaran's seeds: I grew a 1355 of his last season, and it was growing faster than any pumpkin I have ever grown. If I hadn't been messing around in the patch after my surgery, loopy from pain pills, and screwed it up it would have been a monster.
