Would anyone care to give their opinion on what they believe will be the hot seeds for the 2003 season?

For 2004 it might be the 1061 Pukos x 840 Joynson cross, the 1245 Bailey x 780 Elliot cross, the 1076.5 Werner x 773 Girgus cross, OR a 801.5 Stelts x 774 Mombert cross.
But for 2003 watch for the 1024 Pukos, 1074 Calai, or any of the 646, 443, or 419 Pukos's.
Thoughts from Kyle.

I'd bet for 1101 van Kooten, really a promising cross, healthy plant and a nice looking pumpkin. I am definitely going to plant it.

Bushwacker created a cross he shared with me this year.

300 Fasiano 2000--Pukos 1061 x 707 Toftness

I think this looks promising. Any thoughts?

Hay Gerry, don't worry about the room, is enough for your 651,and for the 608, wich is the one I was expecting so far. They will have at least 1000 sqft each and I'll do my best to them for sure. Just wishing to see the pack to arrive.
I am going to prepare two patches, one in my farm, four plants, another in a garden center 2 Km appart, room for two more.

Have you guys heard about the 748.8 Ruff 01? It produced the 1056 Ruff 02 and is a 833,8 Ruff 00 self, wich is a 801 Black 99 also self. Then it has only one grandparent, but a nice daughter. And........the 1056 is a self seed too! then it has only one grandgrandparent instead of eight, wich use to be the normal way. Isn't curious?
