1546 (1421.5 stelts x 1381 checkon) 4% heavy
1185 ( 1135 sliwka x 1381 checkon) 10% heavy
1085 (1381 checkon x 1421.5 stelts)

Anyone somewhat interested in trying these seeds I will gladly give one 1546 and 2 -1185s based on my seed count and demand. You can keep them in your collection, trade them, use as backups, use for your club auctions...give to a friend or decide to grow one in 2014. Its all good.

The 1085 seed count was not as good. For those who are committed to reserve a spot in their patch for this cross I will give them 2-1085s. Please don't request the 1085s unless you whole heartedly are 100% committed to and intend to grow one of them and you will have another for backup.

And for anyone willing to whole heartedly reserve a spot in the patch for the 1546, write in your request info that you are 100% committed to grow it in 2014 and I will send you 3 of the 1546s for backups and better germination odds.

Email me at shazzyzhaz555r@gmail.com and write me a note based on above info for request and I will email my address to send self addressed stamped bubble or bubble and cash if from out of USA. Thanks.

1085 Shenoha was 10% heavy and pollinated with the 1421.5 stelts plant that grew the 1546

First year grower from Jacksonville, Il. Brexton Hall has helped me this year. I am interested in some seed. I am going to grow 6 plants next year. I have room for 4 plants and hopefully I can come to the state weigh off for 2014. Brexton told me that you guys might have a winter meeting. I am retired and if Brexton is off that weekend, we'll will probably be up. I am trying to get my neighbor started next year

Yep...hope to meet you this winter at the meeting "Fisherman". Always good to hear of more from Illinois jumping into the insanity of giant pumpkin growing!

Congratulations on a banner year Shazzy!
I'm certainly interested in growing the 1185 next year. What a thick pumpkin! I enjoy reading your diary and thanks for sharing your knowledge as well as your seeds.

I am interested in the three pumpkin seeds listed above. I was at the weigh-off when shazzy broke the state record, that was awesome. That was my time being at a weigh-off.
