I was finally able to pollinate another female on the 1147 this morning after the first one aborted and the second one mysteriously broke off the day after pollinating.

Cross is: 1147 Shenoha 08 X 1250 Kline 06

As you can tell I only grew this one as a genetics plant. It having been tossed in a corner of the yard and allowed to grow over lawn that would have otherwise remained empty. I'm hoping theres still enough time left in the season to get this one to 20-30 lbs with viable seeds if it takes. Theres at least one pumpkin I know of that weighed only 21 lbs (21 Beachy) and went on to produce an 892 pounder (892 Beachy).
