I'm here in "the city of champions" Edmonton, Alberta!

I'm still trying to decode between my 537 Hildebrant, 1301.5 Eaton, 950.4 Boynton, and 500 Carlson.

This is my 4th year growing, and so far, so good!

From what I hear and have researched on the 301 ( same seed as 950.4 Boyton) is suppose to be a really GOOD plant
ive got one of them in my second patch growing right now
and its growing as well if not better then my 620 Boyton.

My 950.4 seems to be a very strong plant. It does come from the 845 Bobier! I may have to find a good spot to put this one.

Picton,ON (j.vincent@xplornet.ca)

Im from Picton Ontario. I have 4 plants in the ground. The first three have 5-6 Leaves and have started to run. They were all from a AG seed Pac. I started my research very late! since I aquired a Greer 1172 which has three leaves. as well I have a Whittier 1458 and another one out of a 900+ that I started about a week ago both doin well. The plants outside are all in cold frames. I likely wont transplant my other two till the 29th.

Pemberton, BC

I'm in Pemberton, just past Whistler. So far so good for crops, it's a very fertile valley surrounded with large mountains, luckily there is very good sun exposure in mostplaces. I am growing a few atlantic giants from seeds from the store, among big max's, and several smaller eating pumpkins. 10+ varieties of tomatoes, corn, watermelons... lots of veggies. Slowly tilling my acre of lawn into veggies, so far the patch is 15-20' x 50'+. Still not big enough. First time growing the big ones, I'm impressed with the progress.
