Andrew:
I am cheering for you, hoping you can get it to weighoff, then I might be brave enought
to plant that seed. If not , I'll keep you in mind for it.
Would love to see someone from Canada take that $25,000 US off Ray's hands.
Hold in there, keep it going & the best of luck.  Bill

Bill,
 
My 825.5 is still hanging in there but I would love to buy, trade or whatever it takes to get another 825.5 seed from you. Would you be interested I sure would love to plant that next year again and the seed is getting old so it needs to be planted.I agree with what you say and if my pumpkin doesn't hold, your right it counts for nothing. Call me crazy but I like to grow them big and  have them split on me, than grow an official 600 pounder. I'll do anything to get that seed from you. Let me know please.

Hey Guy's & Gal's:
Let's get back to reality, if it doesn't make the weighoff, its not official, it's like the
fish that got away. We all seem to be honing in on a maybe & forgetting the ones that are
going the route. I myself, am growing both this year, 926 maybe, 914 official, no comparison,
the unofficial is just that, a maybe, the official is doing well at the present time.
Let's give credit to the ones that credit is due to, weighed off , not the ones that might
have made it if something had been different, there are thousands of them in North America that
we never hear about because that is the difference between Champion & maybe.
Don't get me wrong, the 825.5 grows big pumpkins, I have the seed but am to chicken to
try it, as most have not made a weighoff to my knowledge, they were big though, my 926 is the
second generation of this seed.
Last year we heard the same story from Ontario, I think it was a lady, big pumpkins that never
are there in the end.
Let's wait for the weighoff's and then we know which seed we should be seeking. Just my opinion.
Thanks,
Bill Van Iderstine
