Last night Hans Feddersen a fellow grower from Flensburg (first year) told me, he had grown a nice orange 390 lbs Pumpkin out of my 237 seed. Well, it's good to know that an own seed has found his way to the ground with a good outcome. A 390 is a good result for a first time grower, is'nt it?
So we settle down again to the question "European seeds in european ground?"
The 237 Boehnke 04 is 1121 Ford 03 x 977 Hester 03.

Do you still have a seed or two for me from that one? I'll grow it next year (or the year after). I might get more than 390 out of it too!

390 in the first year, that's great, it took me three years...
european seeds, yes, I will make a try for a serious cross next year. I want only the best seeds;-).

Werner,
You have achieved something I have yet to do, get some results from my own seeds. Congrats!

Nice! To have one`s seed proven is quite an achievement too. Have very serious plans to plant my own 628 Olsen x 826 Handy next year and also have already a few requests from the neighbourhood ;-)

Hans-Werner, Glückwunsch zu Deiner erfolgreichen Teilnahme an der Norla.

scheinbar ist es in Europa an verschieden Standorten möglich, gute Ergebnisse zu erzielen. Ich staune über die Bilder von der Norla. Und in unserer Tageszeitung stand am 17.09., dass in Klaistow (Brandenburg) auf dem Spargelhof ein Kürbis um 400 Kg erwartet wird:

Danke Christian! Dabei habe ich nebenbei erfahren, dass Jörn Meyer, wohnt 15 km von mir entfernt mit einem Kürbis nach Ludwigsburg fahren will, wie schwer der Kürbis ist, wollte man mir nicht verraten.
