297.5 DeBacco ’16 (F: 1662.0 DeBacco x open) 27% heavy

Woodstock, CT Weigh-In night

Even though this seed came from my white pumpkin last year it has shown some of its pollinator orange color (1676.5 Daletas). I have seen other pumpkins from this same seed that are very pale and white in color.

However, the one consistency is percent heavy which is the reason I made the 1916 Barron x 1676.5 Daletas (and reverse) cross last year. It is nice to see the results of an initial plan work out as intended!

It looks like the grower behind me is looking to get in on the excitement. If you grow it, show it no matter the size.

Not pictured is my also very orange 130.0 DeBacco ’16 (F: 1662.0 DeBacco x open) 20% heavy
