Dang, I forgot to email Ben about the only six available 834# Gadberry squash seeds that I set aside for the PGVG auction. I sent the #1 through #6 seeds to the master that gave me the 895.5 seed (Len Stellpflug), I gave #8 and #9 to Steve Daletas (along with a Canby video) in hopes of chiseling him out of a 1385 or two :} #10 through #16 are for the competitive grower after a true green record.

We will be adding a lot in after the other squash. The lot will be #4 and everything else will gain one number, for example the Daletas Lot will now be #5 instead of #4.

Here is what lot #4 is.

4. 834 Gadberry - (895.5 Hester x Self) The 834 was the best looking squash I have ever seen! This will be your only chance to get a 834!
