I've planted 10 seeds so far this year and they've all sprouted. In the patch I currently have the 1378 Pitura and 887 Keim. Originally I was going to only plant two more in my patch but have decided to go with three more instead, those three will be choosen from the second batch, I'm hoping 1170 Breznick, 1237 Horton and 851 Keim but if one of the 300 looks really good I may have to switch it up.
From my first batch I also had a 1263 Pitura which is still in the pot and not really looking so good, just starting a second leaf. I may just plant it out in my topsoil pile and see if it does anything. The other 887 Keim I gave to my neighbor Mike, which he promptly planted.
Target date to plant this second group is next weekend, which means I will be left with three plants, another one will go to Mike and the other two I'll plant at the neighbors (Erskines). Last year the Erskine plot produce five or six 150+ pumpkins off of one plant (with little or no work from me - I tilled), the largest was 348 lb weighed in at the Mazza weigh-off.
Talked to another friend last night who just brought a new place and so now they have room to grow pumpkins so I will probably start a couple more plants next week for him as well as a couple for neighbor Josh.
