My 492 Handy plant is turning into a bit of a surprise. I grew a couple of vines out over a corner of the lawn behind the garage with the intention of using it as a pollinator, but I have ended up with a small, but nice looking open pollinated pumpkin on the main vine. It was the only female flower that developed on the plant while it was still >100 square feet. I've gotten some more secondary growth out of it and had another chance to pollinate it yesterday, so I crossed it with the 2230. The 492 is the same cross as the 545 Handy- 664 Eaton x 730 Stellpflug- very old school
