2009 Wallace Nice low growing plant Especially because I get wind. all the time. I finally have a pumpkin set at 20 feet . The cross is 2009 Wallace by 991 Urena . Trying some old-school genetics with the newest Genetics. All my plants this year have a 30 x 30 area and this 2009 is three quarters full along with the 1770 Lieber Are both taking up an area of almost 60 x 60

My keeper on the 609 Jarvis crossed with my 803
 
Wednesday, July 24 View Page
My 803 crossed with the 609. The plant seems to have kept the longstem genetics but the squash is definitely lighter green then mommy. I hope she darkens up but I only grew this plant to cross with the 609 and 1486 Jarvis. It's a very small plant maybe 200 ft.²

This is snowball the team pumpkin prodigy. I crossed it with the 2009 Wallace. I think this will be an excellent cross .
