Bell the 679,was pollinated by the 1289 Holland. The 1289 was a great seed. It was strong and aggressive with a nice shape. The 679 was the first plant to germanate out of all the seeds this year. Ive also heard this from other growers that planted the 679. In that regard the seed is a awesome. It was planted im little planting area. Even some heavy hitters couldnt believe how big it got in such a small space. If you want a seed eae e mail me.. kennytheheat@yahoo.com

Bell I must say that there are better seeds out there as far as the pollinators weight (1289) I would only estimate it at about 500 lbs. it was grown in a small are as I didn't have a whole lotta space. It was basically neglected and left to grow out wild. I wanted to use it as a pollinator only and a display pumpkin for the front of the house.I really like the way the 1289 grew it seemed like an easy plant to manage. It was planted on the compost pile and wasn't taken care of. I looked on the pumpkin link and had noticed that the 1289 Holland hasn't really been planted much or at least not registered on the AGGC.

Sorry I was unable to answer your question at first I had to look at some of my older Journals to see the particulars of that season. E-mail me if you still are interested....happy Holidays!
