How did you 1230 daletas do this year?

Hi Benface, My 1230 Daletas was an awesome plant very agressive. The fruit was pale orange, long wide and fairly tall. She went 596 pounds on Sept 5 when we harvested for the Spokane Fair, it was still gaining 10 to 12 pounds per day. We would have liked to keep it untill Oct but we sold our house for a small farm in the country. I still have a few 1230 seeds and may try one again next season. Oh yea, I crossed it with my 644 from 2001 so its offspring should be pretty respectable I will try one next year.

Thanks for the inquiry, I will try to post a pic this winter.

My 1230 started very strong, thick vine however, the leaves got some disease and growth stopped very early. Still, I managed a 300 pounder out of it. Now, if I can just stop the leaf disease....
