Re[2]: Planning Ahead

     
     did i miss something here. i don't recall a BROCK 1360, WATERMAN 1440, 
     OR ANDERSEN 1888. THE WORLD RECORD BELONGS TO 
     ZEHR 1061. I wonder where you got these other numbers because 
     obviously they are not correct.

   Hello,
                      How are the Prize winner Pumpkin seeds distributed.
 Are they sold,  donated lotteried, or part of a  club membership 
 package?
                 I certainly would like to get a hold of a few seeds from
 a  Zehr 1061 or a Brock 1360, Waterman 1440 or an Anderson 1888 : )  I 
 realize the formula is Genetics+TLC+Luck= Giant Pumpkin.....Do all 
 agree?
     
              Anyway, how can we get the odds in our favor by obtain the
 Big Pumpkins' seeds?
 Just planning ahead. If it's a secret I won't tell anyone.......except 
 those on this mailing list of course : )

 Bev , I don't know how I'm going to move my pumpkin either & it's only 
 about 250lbs : )

Tom,
   Actually, if you look at Gus Saunders Newsletter of the top 50 pumpkins of
last year. Most big ones came from smaller pumpkins of previous years. 
Getting seeds from the biggest pumpkins, more often than not, results in fair 
results the next year. Medium sized pumpkins with big parents seem to have a 
better track record. I don't know why.
