This is a tremendous offer(!). Reminds me of the good ol' days of you-send, I-send and each's seeds are tried on opposite ends of the country; I guess it's not NEW-new, but the quantity of the stellar crosses is so great that it's like an accelerated grocery list of what i would WANT paired together if i had more than about 2/3 of the parents of the crosses, but, like i say, the accelerated list is above!

I can't decide which cross I like the best. I need a bigger garden. I am curious..what is the cross for the 1082 Cooper. It is not listed on pumpkinfanatic.

i dunno, but i DID try to find out anything using BP.com's search window as well; it is neat-o to go there if PF doesn't have what you want---no dice, today. let's just assume it's a good cross because this guy Brett Cooper from Oregon makes some nice crosses and this is all interrelated, i believe. i'll also assume Brett Hester has a great sense of humor and will laugh when i muse that he may have hit up Ancestry.com and found something out, lol---

LOL yes, Brett Hester is Brett Cooper. I went back to my birth name when I found my biological father. I know it messes up pumpkin history quite a bit, and lost my "name" in the pumpkin growing world, but its still me. I do still believe in trading seeds with other growers and if they don't have seeds, then hey send me a bubble. I know its probably bad business sense since I do sell seeds, but with other growers I still believe in trade first, worry about money outside of my pumpkin friends.

Bnot, if there is more than one you like, just make note, I have plenty. The 1082 was from last year and was the 1625 Gantner x 2009 Wallace.

yup, i was right, lol---i am in the same boat about selling my seeds on WorldClassGardening.com as in i also want to give them freely to see them get PLANTED, but neither weigh is doing all that great, so...
"business sense since"?...you're not looking for a long-lost brother, are you? that quote is the kind of thing i get a kick out of, lol; At least your names are the same # of letters. even THAT'd be a cool name:
Cooper Hester. hmmm.... later, man----eg

Does anyone have an interest in a state record squash? 1196 Martin. It's a 1262 jutras x 1094.6 butler. I'm not much squash so if interested let know.
