I started with 10...also had 3 other BES so now down to 4 pumpkins left...1662 Stelts, 1309 Hebb (same cross as 1385), 1254 Urena and 859 Bhaskaran (1385 x 1689, GREAT COLOR).

Dave, Sorry to hear about your bad luck. For what its worth, I have one of your 1355's growing and it is doing great. If it holds together and makes it to the end of September, it should set a personal best for me of about about 700 lbs in my second year. Pics are in my diary, "Harbor Grower" if you want to take a look. It is crossed with the 1236 Harp and is bright orange.

Nice to see the 1355 Bhaskaran kicking out Orange fruit! The mom was white and the dad was a very nice redish orange! (1689!)
Thanks.
