Once again I have a limited supply of seeds to give away this year. Thank You to everyone that grew my seeds that I gave out last year. Here is what I have available; If you are looking for BIG & Orange I have some 1266's left from last year (1663 Zoellner x 1161 Rodonis) This was grown by several people this year and I know of 7 that were over 1000 pounds and two HOWARD DILL AWARD WINNERS in its first year out. The seeds I have left are ugly (they have mold spots on them due to a fan failure during drying) but they are perfectly fine. From this year I have my 808 Nieuwenhoff(1266 Nieuwenhoff x 1381 Swarts) I personally feel this could be a great big n orange seed as well and if you believe in hybrid vigor this should be a great cross. This won a Howard Dill Award and the pollinator grew my new PB which I also have seeds available from...the 1386 Nieuwenhoff (1381 Swarts x 1404 Bryson) the pollinator stopped growing mid summer during a heat wave, but I also think the vine had rot inside it that travelled to inside the pumpkin. Pictures of all these can be found in my diary from this year and last year. I also have some seeds available from my 135.5 Bushel Gourd (155.5 Nieuwenhoff x self) This one was bigger than my 155.5 from the year before but it rippened too early and started to dry. When I opened it up it had a large hollow area inside. Last but not least I have some seeds available from my PB 4.90 Tomato (4.62 Timm x open) #7 on the GPC listings. Since I have limited numbers of all these seeds to share I can't send them out to "collectors". If you plan on growing any of these next year please send me a letter stating which ones will see dirt in 2013 along with a stamped, addressed bubble. For outside of Canada growers please include a couple dollars and I will get the postage. Send to; John Nieuwenhoff 37 Stewarttown Road, Georgetown, Ontario, CANADA L7G 4S5
