I have a good feeling about this seed and I can't explain why. From the diaries it just seems like a great seed to grow. I sure would like to hear from someone that might spare one?
Thanks,
Greg

Which Fred Calai seed are we thinking about?

Well, I am interested in the 869.5. Cros grew a 869.5 that looked very promising. Then, there's the the 798 and the famous 846. But, the 846 is out of my reach and class, though, I would give it my best. Thanks,

if you want something like the 869, try the 798.5 Calai, or one of the other crosses that are the same. I know my dad's 808 is the same cross as the 869. It has grown some 800 pounders.

the 884 is the same cross as the 869... easier to find probably.

The 333 Little 03 is (414 Sharier x 350 Sadowski)
The 414 Sharier is (869.5 Calai x 798.5 Calai)
The 350 Sadowski is (798.5 Calai x 869.5 Calai)
Southern probably still has some

Greg, have a guess on the weight of my pumpkin (General Discussion board). Maybe a 869.5 will be easier to find for you than you could imagine... :-)

Thanks Tom,Tom,Ron and MO (i wish I knew your name). MO, I guessed yesterday, thanks for the chance. Young'in, who offered a spare Fred Calai 1074 X from her own '05 pumpkin, It's a beautiful pumpkin. Best wishes at the weigh-offs! Hope you all win!
