unfortunately thats the heartbreak of this hobby. sometimes you do all the right things and she decides to blow.

thats exactly why its so important to be thankful when you do get a monster to hold for the weigh-off. pumpkins were not intended to be that big. we are pushing the boundries of science.

The 1725 is the reverse cross with Woody in it.....
and I also have my 1789 with Woody pollen as well.. so we will have come great genetics in our GrowZ'em BIG PROMO pack for 2014

Lakewood, Colorado

It's gonna be tough to pick a seed next year. When the dust settles, there are going to be some wicked Colorado grown genetics. Scherber, Mohr, Grande, Johnson, to name a few incredible crosses that all may or should have broken the state record. There may be a few out there that I don't know about too. I like that Woody x Harp cross, and the 1421 x snowball, and the 1623 that Joe has, etc.

Can you tell that I am growing mustard and not a pumpkin right now?
