Has anyone grown either of these seeds this year?
The 710.5 cross is: 810 Dill X 1016 Delatas
The 851.5 cross is: 1016 Delatas X 810 Dill
Both pumpkins went heavy compared to the estimate.
The 710.5 had great orange color, from the pic I saw. The 851.5 had a lighter orange color(but pretty decent, from what I could tell).
I would think the genetics would be fairly similar to the 670 Daigle(810 Dill X 1230 Delatas).

Doug my son started the 710 and planted it next to the 841 Dill. He chose to keep the Dill because it was a bigger plant at the start. Kevin Companion is a VT grower and I can ask him if he knows if anyone has grown the seed. I believe the 710 won the prettiest pumpkin category at our weigh off.

I'd appreciate that John. Thanks. I'm thinking of growing one seed or the other(likely not both), next year, and I'd like some insight on them.
