Today I pollinated the 1695 Gaboury. The pumpkin is only 7.5 feet down the main vine, but I really want to start getting it to grow for the members and kids. She has 4 segments. I brought three male flowers from the 1400 Lopresti in case there weren't others on the 1695 Gaboury (there were). I still used the 1400 Lopresti flowers for pollination because the 1695 Gaboury's were infested with cucumber beetles and not looking vibrant. Since I didn't isolate the female flower with cheese cloth, we'll call this one an open pollination. These seeds are being donated to the Master Gardeners, so I don't think they'll care whether the seeds have known genetics or not.
