Five of my own seeds will be started for the main patch. The extras will be planted around the outside for bait/trap plants. I will try to self pollinate those just in case a special surprise pops up and makes it to the end of the season. No plans to give them any special attention. With luck there could be a few to sell. The 604.5 & 743 will produce pumpkins but are half squash. So far these two have produced HEAVY fruit. The 259 is a squash in its frst year out. The 615 has a 25% chance of going green. It's a 50/50 blend of squash and pumpkin. I plan on planting 4 in 2 spots growing to a common center eliminating the orange producers. The 894 has a 50% chance and will get 1 spot planted in the same fashion. If a greenie turns up soon enough the plan is to use the 615 on one of the pumpkins in my last post starting the process all over again.
