Well, I have been trying to find who sent me that self addressed stamped
mailer for seeds last year, but I don't know where it is! Whoever sent it,
PLEASE let me know, and let me know if you still wanted my seeds!
TO EVERYONE: Well I still have those few salvaged seeds from my infamous
destroyed pumpkin last year (618 Wallace (567 Mombert x self) x
self)....second generation selfed 567 Mombert. As you know the 567 Mombert is
one of the highest strains on the genetics list, so the the genetic potential
is GREAT since this was selfed 2 generations. ALthough my pumpkin was not
over 618 pounds the solid Mombert genetics are most likely still purified
further, so this would be a great strain to cross with another big strain
with exploding problems, or with another purified strain for a hybrid (F1?)
with super potential, or to self pollinate again to further purify the strain.
As you probably know, since this pumpkin was destroyed, only about 12 GOOD
seeds were able to be recovered. SOmeone sent me a S.A.S.E> for some last
year so I have to reserve at least 2 for him, (whenever I find his
envelope!), and I promised Beth Rado first picks for a couple too if she
wants any, since she went through so much trouble at her own expense to get
me some sprouted seeds when I really needed them, which were the first A.G.'s
I ever grew, last year! SO that still leaves a few more seeds. I KNOW this is
late, I feel terrible that I am this delayed, but the end of May snuck up on
me. I never seem to be able to do anything on time.
Anyway, PLEASE let me know who would be able to grow these seeds (I guess we
will have to call them "??? Sedlar 98"), I am hoping that I can send them to
someone who can either cross it with another selfed strain, another BIG
strain, or self it again. This has the 567 Mombert genetics, so hopfully this
will play a part in one of the next world record breakers! ANyway PLEASE let
me know as SOON as possible if anyone is still able to plant. I can get the
seeds right out to you. I am guessing I have at least 8 to 9 seeds left to
send out. PLEASE REPLY SOON! Thanks!
