I pretty much know what my 3 big guns will be but I thought I would put it out there and see what other people think. Keep the brain ticking over.
Plants will go in the ground next week. I have two spots that are 1000 square feet and one that is 500. My 6 plants are 1338 Martin, 1676 Daletas, 1683 Fulk, 1724 Steil, 1998 Jutras and the 2109 Zywiec.
So who should get planted with who and who should get the big spot and who will get the little spot and what crosses?
Just for fun what would you do?

My 1153 was grown off the 1338 on a July 16th pollination on 400sqft. So you could easily get 1800+ off 400sqft if pollinated on time ;)

I would have to give one of the 1,000 ft. spaces to the 1998.5 Jutras and pollinate all others with it. Try to stay out of it's way and just let it do it's thing. I here that seed does pretty well.

I grew my 1918.5 with the 1724 Steil in a 500 sqft patch. The 1338 has produced some big girls and the 1676 Daletas likes to go heavy - then plant the others as your back ups

1676.5 Daletas is my pick for your main plant. Look at this seeds record and thats all ill say about it. Next picks would be the zyweic and martin

Go with your gut feeling kiwi. Theres no way to pick the favorites-too much variation from seed to seed.If you double plant-I like the most aggressive.
