Re: The best seed out there
I Like the 825.5 shymanski. It is a good grower and grows consistant
pumpkins 600+. The pumpkins do have a tendency to split, but still produces.
THe 825 offspring(when crossed with decent genetics) produce as well. My 762
was grown from the 788 Wentzell. The 788 was grown from the 825 crossed with
a 606 Wentzell. The 926 Wentzell was also grown on the same 825 plant as the
788. The 825 can produce two biggies if all goes well as in the case of the
788 and 926, but they both didn't last, the 926 split and 788 developed a
soft spot. We all know the 825 came from the 567.5 mombert. The 567.5 this
year grew a 940, 934, and a 700+ lber all on the same plant! Isn't that
something? The 825 has the ability to do the same thing.
Yes, I would be sad if my big pumpkin split, but i still love the thrill and
site of a big one, especially one that i grew on my own. I would grow the
825 without hesitation because i know it will produce and the seeds from
the offspring will produce as well.
Just my opinion
