My work load is getting a bit lighter. I've culled 3 plants that have produced pumpkins instead of squash. Here are the examples of what to expect. All were on green vined plants. I have decide to wait until a bloom opens before culling a plant. I made the mistake of assuming I had SOMEHOW made an error on one of my pollinations from last year when I saw a tiny yellow female on a plant that should have only produced greenies. That little female had aborted and was dying. Not realizing it was dead and wanting to make sure there was time for other grower decide what they wanted to do with their plants I called it open and posted it on the message board. Since then the plant has only produced greenies. I'm confident the 500 Cantrell is a controlled cross. Pictured left to right we have 615 squash producer, 1045 stripey and 1045 yellow both would be pumpkins. Notice the yellow stem on the one on the right. Quite sure no green genes at all in this one but I can't prove it.
