And now, "Pumpking patch experiments" proudly presents: "Better later than never!" The 854.5 Frei. Sown on June 17th, straight into the patch, pollinated on August 19th (854.5 Frei x 1730.5 Werner), now the plant has reached a size of about 150 sqft (well, because of the temperatures of the last couple weeks everything seemed to slow down), and this little main vine pumpkin is growing. Something like 45 lbs on 27 DAP, but in the context of time of year, and age and size of the plant, I must admit that I�m impressed by this little guy. Even more impressive is its attempt to join the club of yellow-orange fruit in my patch. The 854.5 Frei shwos a great performance as a "1161 Rodonis remake", and I guess the "x 1730.5 Werner" doesn�t hurt in terms of "+%heavy genetics" and "orange genetics"...even though it won�t become a giant (before X-mas), I will let it grow to produce some viable seeds (hopefully!!!), I like this cross.
