I got a couple pollinations on my 70 House 21 field pumpkin this morning. No need to hand pollinate there were like 6 bees in both flowers when I checked on them. Probably won't save the seeds from these fruit because my zucchinni are only 30' away. They cross so easily, in fact from what I have seen you are more likely to get a c. pepo to cross than even a Carolina Cross with a JBD. One pollination is on the main vine and the other is on the back main vine. I think I will keep both pumpkins (assuming they don't abort) to reduce the chance for splits. Joe House was generous to supply me with a hole slew of top quality field pumpkin seeds. I chose the 70 Wolf because it's mother was the 81 Wolf. In my opinion that was the best field pumpkin seed of all time. Anyways pictures are to follow of the plant and the two female flowers. I hope to get these to 150 pounds or more that would be really nice!
