MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I ain't waving babe I'm drowning. So don't just wave back what are you
thinking?? anyone whats your favorite?? what is the majority of the group
leaning towards.
Heres the question If you take the top 10 pumpkins for the last zillion
years haven't percentage wise been mostly holland 722 or 827(basically
575dill and 674waterman) off spring in most the slots or ancestry?? Then
the Mombert crosses are enticing but won't have the weight of a Holland
base.......then theres the new kid on the block with the Neily genes the
935.......how have the offspring from this new king done?? Then there are
the Mombert Holland crosses that have some get up and go. So why would the
guy Joel Holland himself who had the purest of all kinds of Holland crosses
start reaching for the Mombert? How are most picking there seeds .
Shellie thats not a bad idea you pick the dream team for me..lost in a sea
of potential, ocean of opportunity......O.K I plant the one the baby
drools on......
