We’re really enjoying our first year growing long gourds. Does anybody out there have a couple of 149.5 Eaton seeds to trade? We’d like to breed it with our seed from this year, which is sibling pollinated from a self pollinated seed.

Cool. I will get in touch with you in a few months. We are growing Porkchop’s gourd seed this year and it’s doing pretty well. We have 2 plants going, both crossed with each other. We’re just thinking it will be good to get another parent in the family tree in the next generation and the world record seems like a good choice.

I was just kidding by the way. I've got some nice ones going, but its my first year and I'll be lucky to hit 9 feet. I'll be looking for some better genetics myself soon.
