Ok so as It looks right now for "2004" Growing season
Patch number "ONE" will be getting an

1081 Wentzell and an 1178 Wentzell


Patch number "TWO" will be getting an 620 Boyton
along with an 386 Boyton


Do I attempt to get a " fruit " from each plant YES
= total of 4 Pumpkings for 2004.

Ok question is
the 1081 Wentzell Would I be better off Pollination
off the same plant ( male flower to female flower on same
plant 1081 ) or do i pollinate an

1081 to an 1178 ?

or does this really matter?

basically what i'm getting at is there any harm of pollination from a male flower to an female flower on
the same plant or it doesnt really matter ?

I'm REALLY looking forward to the "2004" growing season
and will have a diary set up as well so you can all see
how my progress is going :-)

pollinating a female with a male off the same exact plant is called selfing. genetically it's perfectly compatible to do.
