My seeds are ready to send out. I have had a few requests all ready so I figured I would put it out there in case anyone else is interested.

1223 Radach (2009 Wallace x self) 2% Heavy

http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=228056

This one was grown on 290 Square feet in a climate where our average high temperature in August is 74 degrees. It was 82 days old when harvested and was still doing about 12 pounds a day. It would have easily gone over 1300 if I let it grow to 100 days. This is by far the best plant I have ever had and I have no doubt it would have done over 1800 in the hands of an experienced grower in a better climate with a full sized patch.



814.5 Radach (811 Gerhardt x 1495 Stelts) 11% heavy

http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=230584

This was the winner of the 150 square foot contest and also the winner of the Howard Dill award at the Central Market weighoff. I crossed it with the 1495 to try to create a seed that was heavy and orange. The plant that I pollinated with ended up producing a pumpkin that was heavy but not orange so the seed should produce heavy but its kind of a crap shoot on how much of the orange genetics come through.



819.5 Radach (1655 Ford x 2009 Wallace) 8% light

http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=230231

This pumpkin was grown on 300 square feet underneath a couple of trees. It was very nicely shaped but went light. It has the 2009 Wallace that produced my 1223 crossed into it though, so it has some nice potential in the genetics.

If anyone is interested in growing these you can send a self addressed stamped bubble to....

I sent out 27 envelopes this morning so those who sent me bubbles should be receiving them soon.

For future note I am running low on the 814.5's because it wasn't a great seed count. This being the case I wont be mailing out any more of those. I have plenty of 1223's and 819.5's though so if anyone is still interested send me a bubble.
