...and so I went ahead with my operation and got the seeds out of that pumpkin. Look at the walls...and now you need to look closer to find the cavity in the fruit. Not suprising that it went 21.4% heavy. Clearly, the McKie genetics have left a significant trace (1349 Sherwood is 1502 Wallace x 1041.5 McKie). Now this is the 496 (uow, dmg) Wagler 2012 (1349 Sherwood x 1789 Wallace). There weren´t plenty of seeds in the pumpkin, but there should be some for those who are interested in growing this cross of (heavy x best grower in my patch). In addition to these traits which hopefully went into that cross, the 1789 Wallace plant and the 1349 Sherwood plant were the two out of my four plants which had the smallest amount of deformed female flowers, most females were perfect 4- and 5-lobers with a round or slightly long baby-pumpkin and a long stem (whereas plants A and B had a higher fraction of deformed females, i.e. with less symmetric lobes and seeds in the flower, and the females of plants A and B always had a very short stem).
