Hi everyone. This is only my 3rd post regarding seeds I think...lol. Oh well.

Anyway seeds are dry for the most part. I've received many bubbles so far and that's great. Here's what I can tell you all so far:

1810 almost no seeds. I'll be begging a few people to grow it not vice versa...lol. I do plan to donate for auction or more likely raffle one maybe 2 1810's through the SCGA. More likely one....ever.

1468 has a poor seed count as well but I may throw some names in a hat and draw for a chance. I don't just want to take care of friends / HH's because I remember a time when I was just starting out looking for good seed.

1561 had a great seed count period. Beautiful seeds if I may say.

1675 Hopkins and 1325 both had decent counts. John's 1506 was terrible due to losing the inside of the fruit.

So there you have it. Again I ask that if you ask for it you do so with the intention of growing it...next year. I respect the fact that many people collect seeds. Just keep in mind that I really want to take care of those that will plant the seed first.

I genuinely enjoy reading the letters and looking at the pictures / seeds sent to me in bubble packs. In fact no matter how busy I ALWAYS open bubbles immediately just to read the letter.

Thank you all and I'm officially opening my bubble season....now :) :)

Thanks for keeping us in the loop Chris. Once I heard of the low seed counts I decided not to make any requests for the club. Hopefully the fortunate few to receive seeds will create
some awesome friut with good seed counts in 2011.

Just to clarify it's my intention to take care of clubs with first priority.
