580 Weir;

We grew this beast last year and it was 23% heavy over the OTT charts September 16th, reverse cross of the 1260.4. Blew out the "baboon butt" blossem end due to my stupidy of oscillating the soil moisture, and excessive yummies at the critical developement stage. We weighed it at the local IGA grocery store 732#.

That 1058 kills me.
Especially what Mr. Brock was able to do with it.

Thank you

547 Armstrong (887 X 935)...13% heavy, threw a 800+ and was the pollinator for a favorite '02 seed of mine, the 648# Hoffman..14% heavy. The 648 is just looking for the right seed to pollinate and throw some big vigor....
