After the fair I decided it was time to cut the 1299 open for seeds. The 1299 had these dark spots and I believe it wasn't fit for sale. I cut her open to get the seeds, it had thick walls and a small cavity. Lots of good seeds were harvested and are drying now. Just to be safe I did soak the seeds for a few minutes in a ten percent bleach solution. The cross is the 1299 Wolf x 1426 LaRiviere. This seed will see dirt in my patch next year. These are the kind of seeds that I like. A 1,063 pound pumpkin is not large by today's standards, but it was much larger than any other out of my patch this year. Anyone interested in growing this pumpkin is welcome to seeds when they are ready.
