Hello to all,
Recently I was browsing through
the AGCC database and I was struck by just how many seeds are there and I wonder
how many of them have really gotten a fair shake. With all those seeds there is
way to give them all a real shot and it is a better bet to plant proven seeds.
After all,seeds are a crape shot as it is but still I have to wonder if there
isn't a juggernaut hiding in there somewhere just waiting to be discovered and
take off. After all the top seeds are hard to come by and
maybe we will find the next top seed.
I would like to get the group's
feedback on this subject and maybe some seeds they think are undiscovered
monsters.
Here are some that I think might be:
Brock 685
Wray 738
Welty 809
Sproule 952
McCallum 566
and first generation 825 Shymanski offspring. (The
801 Stelts can't be the only one with such stellar genetics).
Then again I could be wrong but
look at the example of the 903 Holland. It was grown in 97 and after its first
year no one grew a huge pumpkin with it and people lost interest but this
year out of no where Joel Holland grew a 808, 967 and 1026 with it. I bet
it will get more attention this year!
Any thoughts?
John
