Still trading So my stock pile is up & down.I like to have a back up seed on a hot one.

Muddy Waters

Is there a limit on how many you can trade??

Eddyz@efirehose.net

You can only own 2 at most and no more. All others should be sent to me. LOL Oh ya, you supply the bubble and postage. Make sure you don't put a value on them or I will end up paying duty and GST

I have 3 -239 leonards if any melon growers want to trade a 1495 Stelts for all 3.

This is part of my evil plan to take over the Pumpkin World.If I own all the Hot seeds they will all have to give in to my demands!! Pinky & the brain are in it with me.LOL!

Good job Mark, maybe if you have an extra 1495, you can send it to me and we can grow the same seed again this year.

10/25/2012 2:21:29 PM

Muddy Waters

Lol!I had a offer I couldnt refuse for a 1495 stelts .so now I only have one.But I will keep trying till I have a back up again.You grew the 1161 Glen?

Geesh, a guy grows his first 1000 lb'r and he wants to make crazy trades. Is a 1634 even a fair trade for a 1495? Hows it feel when the shoe is on the other foot?

A seeds value is defined by the person who owns it.

The 1634 grew a pumpkin that went to New York this year.I dont recall a 1495 doing that this year.Value is in the eye of the beholder.

10/26/2012 7:49:04 PM

Muddy Waters

I dont understand the other foot thing? I have already traded a 1634 Werner for a 1495 stelts.I also traded a 1421.5 stelts for a 1495.Then I had a offer from a very nice man to trade a 1161 Rodonis for the 1495 that I traded for the 1421.5.lol. I couldnt say no for another chance at such a great seed as the 1161 Rodonis.Even though the 1495 is the son of the 1161 with heavier offspring.I got sentimental.lol.All these trades were very reputable people.CRAZYYY!!Whats not CRAZZY about this hobby!LOL!I will most likely buy a 1495 at auction.If not I still have the first one I traded.ANYHOOO!I'm determined & I will find a way!LOL! Just having Fun!VT-KIN

Everyone of those seeds have great genetics so you can't go wrong with a gut feeling.

Mill Bay, British Columbia

OK Mark, you convinced me...I'll grow the 1421.5 that I almost grew this year and I'll wait and see if you get more 1495 or 1161 seeds, and you can send me your spare. Glad we got that worked out...

10/26/2012 9:11:16 PM

Muddy Waters

Just want you to know I'm not a bogart.Just making some great trades.that 1421.5 went 20% heavy on a couple kins,my gut feeling is the 1495,so I traded it.Some would say ,stupid trade 1421.5 is better seed.Oh well!.The 1161 goes light often but what a beauty it is.You gotta go with yer gut.My problem is I let sentimental override the logic & stats of going heavy.I think I will keep the 1161 to grow in 2014 & hopefully cross it my 2013 boulder kin or Squash I hope to grow.I will grow all heavys this year.Must stick to the logical odds.So many choices so little space & time.

I have 4 x 1495 in my fridge right now. 2 will be started. Both will be planted in the same hoop and one culled once they are running out of space. As for the other 2, they are gonna make one sweet ass pair of earings. lol

Is this the 1684 Chris?? That looks like a great cross!

Didn't really mean much by the shoe/foot thing Handy. Just that some years you have the seed everyone wants and other years you want the seed others have. You had a great year- congrats!

10/26/2012 7:46:28 PM

That is the biggest line of BULL SHIT I have read on this site in a LOOONG time Handy! Sure, you can verify a seed by tracking it's origin from an auction and you should do so if you can. The only other option is to shove the seed up your ass to see if it feels right. You are truly a dick.

Thanks on the Congrats!I will pass on the seed germination method your suggesting!I like to let my compost& manure breakdown 2 years.lol

I was given an 1807 Stelts last year from Mark for free, the 1807's all have a certain characteristic so I know it was real. That seed was fetching $100 at auctions! I don't think he's a dick! but I've only grown 2 over a 1000, maybe I'm a dick too !! Looks like it's going to be a long winter.

lol guys!!!
I was just playing with you guys. I don't have any 1495's. Wouldn't grow the same seed twice anyways. Too many other choices and time to move forward. Id like to think that there are a few 1495 offspring that are gonna prove out to be better.

I like to have fun on BP!I will continue to have fun on BP everyday that I wake up on the right side of the dirt.If the cost is a loose cannon giving me a black eye once in a while,so be it.Lets get back on topic!Whos got a 1495 to trade?lol

10/28/2012 3:22:23 PM

Muddy Waters

I love BP & this seed exchange.I have sent a 1495 to Italy.I have sent 1 out west,I'm sending 1 to the east coast.I have received one from the pacific northwest.I also get one from the western U.S.I also much to my surprise landed a 1161 Rodonis,which is my fav right now.I wonder why??lol.I think my 1478.5 went lite due to lack of water.I wont get fooled again.or will I??lol!Folks dont let a little conflict scare you away.Trade away!!seize the day!I'm happier then a pig in poop!Oh I prefer to be called Richard! Not DICK!LOL It's AWL GOOD!
