Now that the dust has settled from the Conference in Green Bay. What are the heavy hitters talking about planting this year? Hot seeds ? Less popular seeds ? Let's hear it. I see that the Patons are going all in with the 1911 Urena.

I’m going with several of my own. First the 1237 Carrier 2018 (2363XSelf) which presented itself at our local Walhalla pumpkin festival. It was the pollinator of all my kin last year. Next is the 1629 Carrier 2017 (1916 BarronX1824 Shenoha). The new North Dakota Record 1921.5 Carrier 2018 (2004 Vander WielenX 2363). Lastly the 2528 Geddes. My 1237 got off to a very late start, it wasn’t pollinated till July 21 because I lost my first one on the plant. It’s was doing great till our good ole North Dakota cold started setting in like it always does this far North. I wish everyone the best of luck this year. Growem Big everybody.
