I'm going to grow the 805 Pukos, 582 Hester, 815 Checkon, and 963 Stucker at my houre, and a few more at some friends houses and possibly my brother's school. I'm interested in knowing what other people will be growing.

I'm leaning toward the 1097 Beachy the 675 Hester squash for the virtual weigh off the 756 Ford the 901 Hebb for color and last but not least the 463 Hatfield (my largest from last year) Unless I win something good from the BP raffle.

I only have room for 2 and I keep changing my mind. Right now I'm thinking of the 419 Pukos. It grew the 1064 Martin and I'm kind of curious about how it will do. I think the second one will be the 1029 Nesbitt.

Hey dincubus, got a problem with my last name? Your joke is not funny.

3/21/2004 9:33:24 PM

Sequim, WA

I will be starting 16 seeds, only 10 will make the cut. My daugter will have one from her largest as one of them.

300" Michalec 03*
576 Michalec 03*
895.5 Hester 00*
Two of the three will be kept.

576 M. Michalec 03
613 Michalec 03
691 Michalec 03
697 Ciliberto 94
715 Michalec 03
717 Mitchell 01
732 Holland 02
771 Holland 01
774 Mombert 00
884 Calai 02 exh
891 Holland 00
910 Nelson 94
1097.5 Beachy 02

I have to give those old seeds a try if I can get them to germinate and they look good. I am looking for some good color from some of these and massive size as well. I need to get to the half ton mark this year and I think most of these have that potential. I wish I had the time and space to grow twenty plants. There are some I would love to grow and cross, but space and time are limited.
