The first of my genetic crosses got harvested today. It didn't have a chance to get very big but it did fine for no more vine than it had. Just barely made the chart at 171 inches. Not weighed so estimate is 123. Very excited to grow this cross in the future 1047 Barlow 15 x 694 Cantrell 15. 50/50 chance of getting a squash from this cross. The 1047 was grown on a 1159 Kline 13 and pollinated by the 2036 Glazier 14 that grew their 2034 Barlow 15. The 694 Cantrell 15 went 25% heavy but it only produced 2 fully mature seeds. I used one of the partially filled seeds this year. The fruit on it was a medium green and was going to be a long squash before it went down to YVD.
