These are the Gerry pumpkins. Trying to get warty here. 492 x 343 is the largest one its on the left. This is the only controlled pollination here it's crossed with the white one beneath it. Some ripples in both but no big warts yet.

Hopefully if the genetics are simple a quarter of the seeds could throw warty ones. I don't plan to save the other seeds.

I see I could have tried to nail both the color and the warts. Too many missed pollinations. I will get an official weight on the one pictured upper left and put the seeds in the "exotic seed exchange." Who knows what colors it could throw? As long as it does warts I don't care about the color. I think with these mongrel looking light-pink/orange ones... There is always hope these ones will throw a nicer orange someday?
