end of season wrap-up

    Well folks, as many of you know, i finally broke my previous best this year by 250 pounds.  And this one wasn't a green one.  Seeds are dry or drying, and should be ready to go in about a week.  Here's a rundown of what i had this year:
 
785 Wolf 2001 (865 mettler x 791 Glasier)  MV, 2 on plant, good tall blocky shape, light colored, but the cross should put a bit of orange into the seeds.  This one was almost 100# heavy to the charts (depending on which ones you use), 7th at altoona

522* Wolf 2001 (535* Wolf x 616* Corkum) MV, 1 on plant. solid green.  solid fruit.  was 60# heavy. the 616 plant that i crossed it with threw orange.(or "threw up" as G would say)  3rd place for squash at altoona.  Put it in my worst spot, going to treat one of my 535's nice next year and see what happens.

511 Wolf 2001 (914 Wentzell x 865 mettler) MV, 1 on plant.  not a bad looking fruit, but my luck with the charts finally ran out here.  weighed almost 100# light.  3rd at Elmira

498.1 Wolf 2001 (859 mombert x 791 glasier ) MV, 1 on plant. about 30# heavy.  Had 2 shallow dill rings.  Weighed 502 at the Clarence weighoff, which included the tarp.  20th at clarence.

And here's the others that didn't make it to weighoff this year for various reasons (mainly because i ran out of places to go) :

463 Wolf EST (815 andersen x 920 cole) 121-82.5-79, grown on secondary, poll. 7/22, tall shape, wish i would have weighed it, i'm sure it was close to or over 500.  Solid right up till it was carved for halloween.  very thick.  Light orange colored, no green to it.
 
388 Wolf EST (920 Cole x 991 Hunt) 110-80-75 grown on a secondary, tall, almost wheel shaped, nice orange color.

360 Wolf UOW (865 mettler x 920 cole) 108-69.5-69 on a secondary on the same plant as my 785.  weighed on certified digital scales at local recycling center.  Picked the same day as the big one.  weighed 40# heavy.

326 Wolf UOW (815 checkon x 920 Cole) 102-72-67 MV, wheel shaped.  went to rot last week of august, chopped up into pieces and weighed.

260 Wolf EST (791 glasier x 920 cole) 103-60.5-65.5 Grown on secondary, good orange color.

210 Wolf UOW (991 Hunt x 865 mettler) wheel shaped, wrenched itself right off the vine in late august.  white pumpkin.
All had and average number of seeds, except for the 463 EST, which only had about 200.  If you want to plant one from it, let me know, or else i might not send any.  Of course, if you would like to send some from your pumpkins, those are also welcome.
 
Anyone interested in some can send the sasbp to:
