I don't know how many you have ( if Joel sent them to you then probably 3 of each) but all 3 have great genetics...Paul

The 629's show me the most promise, the cross is great.Paul

10/16/2001 10:14:54 AM

Would you like any?

10/16/2001 10:25:12 AM

The seeds are small and white.I also have seeds from a 503# pumpkin the parents of it are the 801.5 Stelts(female)and the 974 Mettler(male).

Don't let the small & white fool you, I think that is a trait of the 801.5 genes.Paul

Maybe but the seeds from the walters 503 are much more brown and are from a pumpkin grown on an 801.5 Stelts.

Do you know how Joel did this year. As in weight.

1049----705 x 903
966---- 705 x 1026----- 1049&966 grew on same plant
855---- 1026 x 705
771---- 903 X 801.5------this cross looks great.Paul

What were the ott and circumference measurements on the 1049?

10/16/2001 10:54:36 AM

Do you have his e-mail adress?

I'm sorry but I can't, without checking first. But if you recieved seeds then you have his address. Just drop him a letter & ask. If he sent you seeds he would probably send his e-mail........paul

Hey Paul, Do you think the 771 Holland seed will be on this site? Anything else look good ? I'm looking for some good seed stock. Shape and color as well as size, doesn't have to be the biggest. I bought my seed from myseasons.com and wound up with a 96lber. HOW could I have been so dumb?

10/16/2001 6:51:17 PM

I don't think it will be on this site, you have to go through Joel or belongto the PNWGPG. I'll e-mail you back with some ideas on this years seeds...Paul

I like looks as well as size too, what's the point af having a giant if no one can tell if it's even a pumpkin? I will be growing some not-so-pretty ones, but strictly for size. I want a world record so I have ones that have that potential, but I have pretty ones too.

hmmmm,,,guess joel wants you to buy something from him..I sent a bubble pack,,and he sent a packet of seed with no genetic lines,,no specific size of pumpkin that seed came from..All it says on a sticker on back of seed is "500-700+ lbs. yr 2000 seed.....JD,,and Paul,,how did you guys get quality seed from him??What a bumer,,guess I was expecting something more from a top notch grower/heavy hitter....Guess it could be that I'm a southerner,,lol,,oh well..............

Joel saves his best seeds for people who buy his videos. When you buy a video, he includes seeds from his best pumpkins, along with genetic info.

jeff....dont confuse 500-700 lb seed from Holland in a commercial packet as shelf seed.And dont consider those seeds as anything less than primo genetics or those seeds as less than the others.The seeds are from the pumpkins he grew in 2000.....he grows two or three on a plant, so the genetics are all there. I have a packet from him of the 726.5 seeds....generic looking Holland's Giants seeds but all from the 726.5.Your packet seeds are premium genetics from very successful plants.Look up Holland in AGGC and what he grew in 2000....those pkns in the 500-700lb range are what is in your packet.And he's a generous top notch guy.............G
