Hi All Thanks to all here and the info that I got, Thanks to Andy Wolf and Steven Jepsen for the seeds. The first year is now done for me. Got 2 from same plant Jepsen 281.6 #1 444.5lbs #2 469lbs Kept both rather and take a chance on one and end with nothing first year. Do not know what plant pollination was done from.
Do you think I might get good results using seeds from these New year??? Or use seed from Andy and steven again?
Thanks again to all

Congrats, NW PA...great 1st year!!! If ya cant look thru seed exchange board, in November, and find something ya like...seed wise...then grow those ole Tremor and Wolf seeds!!! LOL Seriously, Steve and Andy is about as good as it gets!!!! But, do some research, and look on the seed exchange board later in the year....lots of great seeds will be offered for the price of postage. Lots of clubs around the US & Canada will send ya a big pkg of seeds for the price of club membership....lots of ways to get a great seed collection started!!!
I was told early on to send a short note about yerself, and politely request a seed that you "want" to grow. Hope this helps. Peace, Wayne

Is that you Brad?

Regardless....Congratulations on a great first year!!!

My 281.6 is a very easy seed to grow but the darn pumpkins aren't usually much to look at. What color were they?

Shoot me an email & pix if you can.

Like Wayne said, come November there should be a lot of good seeds available for the price of stamps & bubble pack envelopes. We made some nice dark orange crosses this year. If the seeds are good you're welcome to some.

900plus lbs on a single plant in first year is great !! That seed may warrant consideration in others patches...grown full bore competition one per plant what could it have done?............
