Hey Glenn,
Our 281.6 (845 Bobier x 842 Eaton) was grown on a cutting a few years back &
did very well in Stem, NC. It is very heat tolerant & easy to grow. The
downside is the 281 grows a butt-ugly cream or geen streaked fruit.
Easy to grow - but ugly as sin!
You're welcome to a handful if you send me a bubble.

I have worked on growing these things for years with no real success.
I now have some farm land with a sprinkler system, and a church youth
group to share in the experience.
we need a couple of seeds that will do well in hot, SC weather. And,
since there is little hope of a world record, prettier, rounder, more
red/orange pumpkins are worth the sacrifice in size.
Any suggestions or folks willing to send me some seeds?
Peace,
Glen
