This is definitely the best looking pumpkin I have ever grown.
444 House- 575 Wolf x 364 Webster x
890 Dill- 1290 Poirier x 1016 Daletas

It tapes 407 lbs. This was a solid planned cross and I will be growing at least two plants next season. Good seed count, about 400 after the duds and splits were disgarded. If you're into orange, this may work for you.

I would be willing to try one if shipping into the US is possible.

I'm a new grower so can't guarantee great success, but will put the time into it. Would gladly keep you updated as to how it turns out, I plan to have growers diary next year.

Hello I am a new grower in Oregon USA, I would grow one next year. I have a 3000 sqft space I have dedicated to Growing Orange Pumpkins. I can send you a bubble envelope if you have a seed available. If possible I would take 2 seeds if not one would be great. I don't want to be greedy.

Thanks

Very gracious of you Eddy. When the bubbles are ready to go, including sufficient postage, I can send to you a large envelope containing said bubbles. I don't expect there will be very many but at least they will get there safely.

BigR and Wildcat, I had good seed counts so I can spare quite a few. Wildcat, can you post your e-mail or send it to me.

Could you post the info and a pic at pumpkinfanatic.com. I assume the 444 House was the mother.

Hi Andy, I am having surgery and will be in the hospital Tuesday Nov 7th through Sunday Nov. 12th. If you try and get in touch I won’t have computer access until I get back home. I have the bubble ready to be sent to you except for your address.

Thanks

PO Box 784

Many thanks for any help you can give us. We use the seeds in our growers auction and raffle to raise prize money for California weigh-offs.

I would be happy to send you a good number of seeds to do with what you will. This was a very well thought out cross and although the weight was under my expectations, the lineage is impeccable. Nothing but HD winners on both sides. Expect a bubble in the near future, seeds are almost ready to go.

I didn't think about the logistics of Canada to the US.

If I mail a self addressed bubble, can I put US postage on it for the return? Would it be better just to put some cash in the envelope?

I'm going to send it out on my lunch break, so if no responses by then I will ask the lady at the post office her advice, lol.

They will need to put Canadian postage on to reach US. I would send them some US $

If the bubbles come through me, US Postage is fine on the bubbles as I send them from Montana

Hey Andy.
I have a 518 uow this year that is the 444 House x 289 House. 289 is the reverse of the 444 so all 575 Wolf and 364 Webster genetics.

Andy H. Hope you are well. I have not received a bubble with seeds from you as of yet. Can I assist with postage? Several of our California growers were excited to hear of your offer. Let me know what I can do to make it happen.

Good to hear Wildcat, best of luck!

Elk Grove, my apologies, thanks for your post. I received some bubbles and they were my reminder to fill and return. I will definitely have a bubble for you with some extras. The earliest I can send it will be the 27th, again my apologies.
