The 1147 had its first female pollinated this morning by the 1250 Kline, sort of. Since I was going to be away camping the morning it was to open, I cut off and destroyed all ‘about to open’ flowers on the Prizewinner and 1147, then rounded up some flowers from the 1250 and put them in a small jug with some water in it and stuck it right next to the female blossom that was about to open on the 1147 and let the bees do the pollinating. I can only hope that there are no other Cucurbita Maxima’s in the vicinity, otherwise there would be a risk of the genetics being contaminated by some unknown variety.
