what did Mackinnon's, 145 McInnis produce and what did he cross it with? The 81 Wolf?

If so how can I get one of these seeds or in contact with Mackinnon him self?

I didn't see the 145, but there is a 142 McInnis.

Hi Mark, I believe I received one of your seeds in my RMGVG seed kit that I will be growing this year. I will also be growing a field pumpkin from cojoe. Both of these will be firsts, so I'll let you know how it goes.

Mr.T, Mark is correct, both the 103 and 85 were grown off the 145 and pollinated with the 81 Wolf (mother of the twins). If you post your e-mail I will contact you.

Mr.T e-mail on the way. Cojo., the "B" stands for Betty and the one weighed by my mother. This pumpkin had a much larger blossom end than it did a stem and shoulders end, BUT was the heavier based on ott. The "A" would be the one I weighed in and was similar on both ends in size and more oval shaped. Not sure if you have seen a decent pic but if you go to this link http://avgvg.com/ you can see both clearly, B on the left and A is on the right. Hope this helps and best of luck.
