As the subject suggests, what seed do you think is going to grow this years biggest pumpkin?

923 Gerhardt. Oh wait, I thought you were talking about the Howard Dill Award. Nevermind. I am thinking probably a 1180, 1161 or 1421.5.

1258 Wallace if I were a betting man. If not this year then in the not too distant future.

I think your going to see a few 1288 Wallace's out there grow huge, and I think your gonna see a couple 1421's go big even though a few has been birdbath shaped pumpkins.

Watch out for the 1140 Stevens also.

But I think the 1421 Stelts will be similar in growing (shape wise) just like the 1161 Rodonis grows,, the 1161 grows some bird baths also now and then, but get that magic 1161 seed and its going big round and heavy. Same with the 1180 Pukos, get that right seed and its going big.

Ya really had to remind me of the 985 John. I am really torn about growing it again. I guess I'll have to wait and see what this year's crop produces and find that magic must-do cross.

Then again, I COULD be persuaded to trade it....

yea your right on that John,,cant wait to see how many mnsters are grown from that 991 seed for sure.

Oh, and I bet you will see a few monsters off a few diffrent Revier seeds with out a doubt.
