Does anyone have a 1131 Chockon I could try grow next year? I have been looking at this seed for a while and thought it would be good to grow!

Thank you

What was the pumpkin grown the same year by Mr.Checkon but got a hole? And did it have seeds?


Thank you

The 1190 did have seeds, but I don't think there were very many. John Michael Werking grew a squash off of one of them a couple of years ago.

1131 was seedless, and the 1190 had 29 good seeds that I am aware of, the rest were immature. I know Dale Mellott grew a fruit from the 1190, but the rest went untested, for the most part. Not even sure if larry has any left. Of all Checkon seeds, the 815 is the most proven (and getting old, so plant those soon), the 986 is the hottest, and others to seriously consider would be the 1162 (gorgeous), 1242 (need I say anything more?), and the 834. I have grown the 815 4 years straight, had 550 pounder this year, 2000 I had 771 and 679 pounders on same plant. I love the plant, and will probably do it one more year.
