Only got 6 solid looking seeds out of that 352 est which reminds me why I started this squash/pumpkin project. Increase size and try to eliminate some fertility issues by outcrossing were my goals. The excitement following the selfing which produced the 2009 Wallace and others has been contagious so I selfed everything this year. Not sure that was a great idea as I suspect fertility issues are more likely to show up if they are present, genetically speaking. Odd thing is I ran over a smaller fruit on the same plant hidden in tall weeds that was full of seeds that were solid. Open pollinated of course. Makes me wonder why.
