I have narrowed my seed choice for this year down to 10 Seeds. I have room for 3 or 4.
Which seeds would you grow and cross given the opportunity?

1.    1502 Wallace -1068*1354
2.    1462 Gibson -998*1068
3.    1423.5 Wallace -1068*1041
4.    1470 Wallace -1502*998
5.    1556.5 Werner -1308*985
6.    1566 Rodonis -1450*1231
7.    1689 Jutras 998*1225
8.    1093 Hunt* -1068*842
9.    1010 Daletas -998*898
10.    1385 Jutras-(1068*998) Or 1350 Wallace-(1068*998)


I am so excited to plant this week!! Now which seeds to plant? LOL

I agree with Richard B., to plant the 1689 Jutras and cross it with the 1566 Rodonis. That will create great genetics for next year.

Man thats a tuff one Bryson, I like the 1462 Gibson,1502 Wallace,1556 Werner, and the ones that are left over, throw em in a hat and pick one out,lol. Really you could throw em all in a hat and draw 4 out, any 4 seeds you pick out of the 11 will be good ones no matter what I think.

Bryson,
I don't think you can go wrong with any of those seeds. They are all great seeds with great potiential and any cross would be good too...
but here are a few suggestions anyway.
1) Pretend that someone else asked the question and you are answering it for them. Write down your answer and why you are picking eack seed... (that way you'll have to think it through before you write you answer).
2) Write a list of +'s and -'s for each seeds. Then score figure out a way to score each of them. Start the ones with the highest scores.
3) Throw them all in bowl then let your little brother pull 4 out... if you are happy with them, then start them. if you are dissapointed with one or more of the picks then it means you really wanted to start a different one instead. So go with the ones you really want to.

All are great seeds with tons of potenial. I personally like the 1385 Jutras x 1462 Gibson & reverse. Putting these two seeds together can only result in great things. The 1093 Hunt x 1010 Daletas & reverse should also do well. Bringing the 998 & 898 Knauss into the 1093 (1068 x 842), should really help keep the future progeny going heavy. It also has all of the top seeds in it's genetic background (1068, 998, 842 & 898). You can't go wrong with that combo. Just my two cents.

I'd go with the 1470, Pap + Ron got some awsome genes into that one. It had 1354, 1068 , and 998 in it.

I would be shocked if that seed did not do something amazing.
