1945.5 Daletas ’15 dmg (F: 1554 Mathison ’11 x M: 1744.5 Fulk ’13)
This is my “take a chance” seed pick. I am fortunate to be able to grow six pumpkin plants, so when I talked with Steve himself, I learned that this was a pumpkin that split early in the season and was still able to achieve this size, so I wanted to give it a chance. As growers, we are trying to push the limits, and this one is very close to the thin grow vs. split line, so it will be interesting to see how it performs in the patch. I am hoping the pollinator may stabilize the growth and ensure a uniform shape, but this is the excitement of trying an unproven seed.
