I pollinated a 5 lobe female on my 862 McWilliams with the 359 Foss. It is a late, small plant in the lowest, sandiest part of the patch. The offspring should have great orange color. My 233 House Cinderella keeps putting out female flowers but no males, so I am using the 359 Foss on that one too. I want to try selfing one to preserve those genetics if it ever sets a male flower. Field pumpkins are all open pollinated, but I do help out the bugs to make sure they get enough pollen. The skeeters and deer flies are bad now, so I have to use insect repellant any time I'm in the garden. My daughter's dog came down with Lyme disease. so I have to look out for ticks, too.
