My first batch of seeds are just about ready for this year. They are from pumpkins that had stopped growing. I hope you like the crosses if you want any send me a self addressed stamped bubble pack to: Mikkal Hodge 11927 N. 250 E. Morristown, IN 46161. Here is a list of the seeds.

#1 922.5 Emmons X 1367.5 Rose This pumpkin had good shape and good color.
#2 1367.5 Rose X 1301.5 Eaton This is one of my favorite crosses for the 2004 season. One of the first 1300 X 1300 Pound crosses!!! The pumpkins was tall and blocky and was also orange.
#3 1301.5 Eaton X 1367.5 Rose This one is my favorite cross for the 2004 Season. This pumpkin was a beautifull pumpkin great color and shape.

Good Luck with what you guys still have going this year.
TRhanks,
Mikkal

Save a few for me if you could, my Wal-Mart bought seeds this year taught me a lot and are still growing something resembling "large" pumkins (They're small, I have delusions of grandeur), I'd love to get some decent seeds for what will be an expanded garden next year. SASBP on the way.

Ok, Sorry for taking so long to answer. Haven't been on in a few days.

Gad's, Yes I can authenticate the crosses. The 1301.5 I received from Mike Frantz in the Bigpumpkins.com 2003 growing contest. I got two and grew one this year. The 1367.5 Rose I received from Clinton rose. He told me he got it from his uncle Jerry. When I pollinated them both male and female flowers were covered. I hope thats sufficient. If It's not e-mail me and I will see what I can do.

The reason they stopped growing is 1. My soil is not very good. 2. In the spring they were hurt with 2-4d. 3. It got quite cold a couple of weeks ago( Lows In the mid 40's) ans that ended there growing.

As for size thay were just genetic crosses I do not know the final size.

If you have anymore questions e-mail me.

Thanks,
Mikkal
