I ordered two 923 Ciliberto seeds from Howard Dill but they were sold out and sent me 2 948 Hebbs. The female plant was a 990 Hebb '00 which was a green squash plant and the male was a 818 Hebb '99.

My first question is how did a green squash plant produce a pumpkin with no green on it?

Second, will seeds from the Hebb 948 most likely produce pumpkins or "'tweeners"?

I don't think I want to grow something with squash so close in the genetic family. If anyone wants to trade 2 seeds for these two I will pay for the postage.

Come on man, don't dis the squash genes.
If the 948 grew a 1500 lber next year but it was a "tweener" would you still want to give them up ?

come on man... don't dish the guy for wanting to grow
only orange. let the guy grow what ever color he wants...
and you do the same.
I know many growers that would not plant "tweenter" seed
- no matter what it threw.

paul-
honestly -i'm not upset...and I was not try to be mean or rude....
...just playing the game too... trying to be Hoss like....
and rolling with the punches... duckin and weaving...
throwing a few my self...
it's hard to tell ones demeanor and intent via posts
isn't it ? sorry if you took it the wrong way...
easy to do with the history here...
you like to poke a little fun and those who don't like squash...
I poke a little fun at those that do...
.... in the same style and mode that already set forth
i didn't see anything wrong with that...

i don't think my post was any more or less serious
than yours- was it ?????


gordon....

I like that. I use that word at least 1000x a day, unless I'm talking to the opposite sex then it's "darling"
