1011 Bosworth 10' (1161 X 1450) I Know this wasnt a huge pumpkin but the cross is a great one, and the pollinator 1450 was like no other plant I have ever grown before, and I wouldn't be making a big fuss over it if it wasnt for the 1450 Pollinator plant. I think a pumpkin seed like this with a very low 11 seed count makes it kinda a special seed for growers to grow and take a chance on.
but and it dont surprise me at all with the very low 11 seed count this pumpkin had, espically with how many aborts I had on this plant to then finally get one pollinated at the very end of July. No rain and the highest heat and humidity temps in July that I can EVER remember.

I normally dont talk my own seeds up(Well,,, that much,,lol) and its usually always someone else's seeds that catch my eye that I end up blurting out on the boards then the seeds are gone in no time flat by the time I ask for one it seems like,,lol
If your seriously want to grow this seed next year OR maybe for a your club auction, Contact Eddy Z, All seeds are his but 3 out of the 1011, the rest of the 8 seeds will go directly to him to do with what he wants, Eddy is the one who give me the 1450 Wallace to grow and to do this cross for him this year, and trust me when I say this AGAIN,,LOL,, that 1450 was a beast, even pap and Ron Wallace thought this pumpkin was going to be something special, that 1450 was the fastest growing pumpkin I have ever had,,,, EVER! The 4 root system at each node is what really made that 1450 pumpkin grow like it did, like something I have never ever seen before!
I will only be keeping 3 seeds for myself that will all be given out , one will go into the Barnesville seed auction in Feb, one will definitely go to Joe Ailts and Chris Stevens for their club if they are interested in this seed , and the other seed will go to Al Gibson / Dave (Venari) for the OVGPG Auction
