this is a recent pic of the 940 Mombert '98 fruit o' mine.
it is self-pollinated. i have thought all this time that the 940 X SELF cross was a rarity.
sort-of; there are only two, with no reported offspring,
listed in the AGGC. now i have the 'X SELF' cross
in this pumpkin as well as in the 300-350-pound cull
i took off this plant a month ago. yeah, they sprout,
but i let the seeds get a little too ripe in the fruit,
and a fluffy fungus develops on the seed as it waits to sprout. BUMMER!
no fear>>>a little athlete's foot spray
applied to the fluff actually killed the fluffungus, lol.
the seedling is now growing nicely today!
VISUAL estimate on this pumpkin is 550-600pounds.
