605 seeds from the 1493 shenoha 2010 (991 urena x self) are drying in the basement. i imagine by the time i check them all and drop test i think i should still have 500 nice ones. the illinois giant pumpkin growers association will have both the 1209 and 1493 seeds on sale after the are done drying. they will be very reasonable. both crosses will be sold for 2 seeds for $10. all proceeds will go towards the igpga monsters of the midway weigh off prize money. we will be requiring that purchasers supply us a self addressed stamped bubble pack along with the money so all we have to do is drop in the packs and send on the way and not have to pay for the bubbles and postage. it's a fair price for some nice crosses, and for 20 bucks and a self addressed stamped bubble pack, a grower could have 2 of each the 1209 and 1493 shenoha seeds for their collection. we feel this is reasonable and anything to help the club and the weigh off is cool by me. i will post in my diary when the seed sale starts after they are done drying and anyone interested in this offer can email me at [email protected] if you have any questions. i will start a list as of tonight and 200 of each will go to first come first serve. they will be sold only in packs of 2, so there will be 100 packs of each cross with 2 seeds in the envelopes available starting now. the crosses again are---
#1 cross---1209 shenoha 2010 that went 20% heavy. it is the 873 naylor x the 991 urena pollintor plant that produced the 1493. the 873 is not listed on the aggc but it is the 1147 shenoha x 1119 mcmullen and both the 873 pumpkin and 1119 pollinator plant's pumpkins went 24% heavy.
#2 cross. 1493 shenoha 2010. 991 urena x self
if you email me in regards to this, please title the email "SEED SALE REQUEST" so i can put you on the list and then tell me specifically which ones and how many packets you need. remember, 2 seeds per packet for each at 10 bucks per packet. thanks from the igpga.
