Cold and snow

It has snowed most of the day here. Not much is sticking, but it is very wet.

As for seeds, I have already had some inquiries about the very orange 423. On the good side, it is in fact VERY orange, it went heavy for it's size, and it has a rib-structure which I think could support a much heavier fruit. Get this one on a healthy plant, 15 feet out, and it would be real nice. On the downside, it was an open pollination. In fact, I was gone the day that it opened. I wish there was a way to determine a seed's color potential before committing to it.

To anyone interested in the 423 or the 617, they will be available. Likely I won't cut the fruit until around Halloween, unless it looks like we might go into an early deep-freeze. Freezing doesn't hurt the seed, but I'd rather not spend hours picking seeds out of COLD pumpkin flesh, lol.

The 998 is probably around 350 to 400 (guessing), but if it goes like the other two went, it could go into the 400's. I hope I can keep it healthy over the next few days, while the overnight temps dip down into the 20's.
