Starting some AG's and some FP's for grafting Practice. The top row are AG's the bottom FP's. These are the big field pumpkin seeds "Fat Boys" that I got from those huge FP's that were 69 & 89 lbs right out of the field I got at a friends pumpkin patch. The AG seeds are above average size so you can see what size the FP seeds are compared to the AG's. I'm going to see how and if I can get the scion of a FP to graft to the root stock of an AG to see how the initial growth of the plant appears to be. Going to grow them under lights for a bit on a big layout table in my basement for a test of the plant trunk (stump) per analyzing the growth of the graft area looking for cracks during early growth stage. I'm also this winter working on Grafting two AG scions to one AG root stock and the same with FP's for more available foliage feeding for size obviously. You've guessed it I'm already bored from not having a garden and its only December, lol. I'll post some pics of the progress and the starting points...should be intresting.
