Each year I have a couple seeds I want to plant that I just don't find room for. I often keep coming back to the same seeds. A couple of my "almost" seeds are:

865.5 Nesbitt (705 Stelts x 723 Bobier)
986.5 Ceja (842 Eaton x 898 Knauss)

I assume the same thing happens to other growers. What are your alomst seeds?

I have a whole envelope full and can only plant two. This year I have not decided what germinate yet. If I pick a good one as a backup and do not need it at least I can give it to someone who will plant it.

LOL, that's good stuff. I felt the same way about both the 865.5 Nesbitt and the 904 Sperry. I ended up growing them both. They are both on my short list to grow again. I grow many, many plants with very few repeats...both of these I will grow again. They are the real deal!
Here's another one: the 851 Davies!!
All 3 of these offer REAL potential, great shapes, very good color and all were OTC/heavy! Enjoy, BF

It looks like i'll get around to planting my 291* (703* Smith x 865 mettler) this year.

The 783 Daletas and 1156 Larsen are on my "almost planted" list.

Thats the problem when u get a seed that your almost afraid of planting it. I have one of those. I am proud of it but keep thinking, "If I wait till next yr I may find a better cross".
Last yr due to poor germination all my reserves got planted.

783 delaetas and 1109 speakman, have always been on the edge for me, but both might get planted this year ,,to early to tell

Been planning on planting the 1370 Rose the last four years. Also wondering if I should plant my last 1068 Wallace this year or wait to plant it next year. If I plant it next year, it will be planted in the patch that has been sitting for two years with Alfalfa growing. Been seriously thinking of crossing the 783 Daletas with the 1068 Wallace.

783 daletas has come and gone in my seed box a couple of times but never made it to the dirt.

Doug, I'll plant that 1370 for you.. I will promise not to let it get bigger or prettier than yours!!
Or maybe the 1068 will see dirt this year, Heard it was a hot seed..lol

2/20/2008 10:09:31 PM

Doug14, plant the 1370 Rose. i command you, lol.
look at my 912.5 (1370 X 582) on the AGGC or i will
email you a pic if you want as well.
i cannot see how anyone, other than me, DOH! ha ha
can resist its possibility...1370 is such a great seed.
and, per the recent 705 Stelts quest we are hearing about,
pretty-much any seed should be obtainable for the right
seeds in return. go for it in '08! EG

Joe,
Thanks for the offer of planting my 1370 Rose for me LOL. But I think I'll hold onto it for now. I might just take Eric's advice(pumpkinpal2).
Eric,
Your 912.5 sure was beauty!

2/21/2008 1:42:43 PM

thanks! it has been about 24 hours since i was last
at this place on this board. it has been worth the
wait to hear that any suggestion i make might be
used, lol---1370---1370--1370---
this is really cool-- i am typing on MY keyboard, listening
through 'phones to an !outstanding! English superband called Porcupine Tree.
yes, oddly-named, but they are at the very least the equivalent of RUSH and the keyboard parts are fun to
type-to. good night
