Hole cut into the 1532 Marsh to try to salvage a few seeds, since it was crossed with the 1674. The walls were very thick: that home-made knife has a 14" blade and 6" long handle. IT dies show another problem, as the kinfe is stuc right in the blossom. The back end of the pumpkin grew completely over the blossom and could have potentially caused another problem. Anyway the plant it was crossed with grew a wheel, so if the seeds give something in between it might have a decent shape.
Our dry spell ended Tuesday morning with a 4" toad strangling gully washer. Luckily none of the pumpkins split from all the water. I guess I had the soil sufficiently moist to prevent a problem.
