Hot Weather Seeds
Hello Everyone
Seeds for Hot Weather Climates. I am going to try to get a discussion
started about which Pumpkin Seeds would be the BEST seeds for the Very Hot
Climates like we have in the Southern part of the United States, (Oklahoma is
where I am), and other Countries with similar Heat. Our high temps go into the
100s in the hottest part of the summer for several weeks, with lows generally
around the lower to mid 70s at night. Lets get a list started of those seeds
for ALL Hot Weather Growers to get an idea from, about which seeds they might
consider growing for a Hot Climate 1000 lb. Pumpkin. Tell us what makes you
think any seed you list might be good for the hot climates or what the seed
might have already done in hot weather. After this discussion gets going then
we can also start another list for the cooler climate seeds if anyone wants
to.
Let me get the discussions going. I think the 950.4 Boyton is a very good
seed. The 950.4 plant handled the heat very well for Carlos in Spain and grew
a very large pumpkin. Carlos also grew the 600.5 Gregory and the plant done
very well also, BUT there are not any 600.5 seeds left out there hardly. I
would love to try the 600.5 Gregory if I could find a seed.
Also the 237 Beachy has been about the best plant we have ever grown so far in
3 years. It started out like gang busters, then we had a cool front move in
that we never have here in Oklahoma in July and slowed the growth on it. Good
Luck to Everyone this year.
