This is a ''hot topic'' for me. My feelings are that any Atlantic Giant seed
can produce a very large pumpkin. I think what is happening now is too many
seeds are being collected and not planted. Everybody is waiting for someone
else to take a chance and plant them.Let's look at the 1006, yes it did
produce a few big ones this year, but how many of these seeds were planted to
get that many? I would be willing to bet a few hundred were planted, when you
now look at how many were planted and what it produced the average is not very
good. The only real proven seed on a grand scale over the past few years in my
opinion is the 567.5. Another trend, I see developing is, one year after
someone pops a big one, the next season that seed will get planted heavily and
then it disappears never to be planted again. What ever happen to the 923, 887
or the 914? at one time these were good seed stocks. I just think we all get
bored with these seed '' studs'' and move on to the next batch of hopefuls.
