Merry Christmas. What are you planning to grow for squash this next season? This thread needs some life.

1047* Barlow - 1159 Kline x 2036 Glasier
Why? high risk but with high potential
the 2036 grew a 2034 that had some green in it

John why high risk? Because of the light color of the 2036?

Patrick, the risk of growing a 1047* is that the coloring may not be green dominate.......so if someone needed green there are seeds with a lot better green potential. I packed 4 seeds in each packet for auctions to give a grower a better chance at getting a green fruit with 2009 genetics.

I am going to grow my 513.5 (800 Neily x 1578 Holub) and probably the 800 Neily again maybe another if I acquire another good seed :)

I would like to pick up a couple large dark greens, but if I don't, I'll grow one of my 398.5 Boyd'15. 717* Lovelace'10 x sib. I hope to give a squash one spot in the main patch this year. Good luck to all in 2016!

Growing the 1578 Holub again this year and 667 Plansky this year also. I crossed the 1578 Holub x 1421 Juntrus last year to get the 667 Plansky. Th e plant was great and the fruit was dark green and grew awesome up till my plant got destroyed by Mother Nature.it was on pace to get to 1200#s

Roundhead79 did you share your 667 Plansky with the exotic seed exchange? The GPC has it listed as Blansky, that must be a typo?

I, too, will be growing a Cantrell! Thanks Dave! I will also grow my 398 Boyd 2015 for the cross.

I try a new PB with a 1023 Martin and my own 591 MC-Krueger.
The special this year is, that I try a „surprise-egg“ with the 1023er and the 1316 Jaser15-pumpkin, because the cross of this giant is 2323 Meier x 2009 Wallace..... more power for the next years!

I was thinking of growing giant squashes this year. I grew two PB giant pumpkins last year(438, 13% heavy and 504, 1% heavy). Can giant squashes be grown the same or different from giant pumpkins?
