1647 Wallace. What happened to the 1610 Lieber? Seemed like that seed disapeared.

1244.5 Rea is the best in my patch this year. It's a real beauty and has the genetics from the 1610 Lieber.

I really like what I've seen grown on the 980 Fredricks so far(in the growers diaries). It looks like a very good seed for big, orange, and nicely shaped pumpkins. If I grow these things next year, the 980 Fredricks will likely be at the top of my list.

I'm biased on the 980 since it's my seed lol, but in all honesty, it's gonna be a hot seed for big and orange!

I'm curious how the 1381 Checkon is doing. Mine ribbon vined, but I eventually got a fruit.

The 1308 Barenie is doing the best here then again the 1333 Dodge may pass it up per the numbers via growth rate...

That will teach me to post late at night. I'd put a vote in for the 1807 just from the one I saw on tour.

I read somewhere that there were not many 1610's. Could be wrong though.
Looking forward to growing your 980 and 1723 next year, cheers Jim and Dale

My 1807 was the best looking plant I've ever grown, it took 5-100 deg. days in a row with no sun burn with no misting, I couldn't get any fruit set in the heat though. It will be in my patch again next year

Dandy, the 1610 did have a really low seed count and several that were grown last year were sterile so it might be better to grow a seed with 1610 parentage than the actual 1610. I myself really like the 1213 and 1244 Rea for 1610 genetics.

1571 parks is my best so far, but there is a way to go yet.

Apparently the sterility has also shown up in some of the 1213 or 1244's. 1304 (1610x1161) also a good one. No probs with sterility for me.

My 1213 Rea was sterile,good looking plant. I will try it again next year.

The Watson 965 which is the Sperry 1520 X Stelts 1662 is doing very well in my patch.

My 1244 is a very healthy plant and the kins look good. I only wish I had taken farther from the stump so it had more plant behind it. It only has about 12-to 13ft.
