If you haven't seen this already, I thought you all would get a Kick out of it. I did a cross last winter in my basement and so for this is the color of kins coming off of the plants.

I crossed the Fat Boy c. Pepo with a Giant White Cushaw C. Moschata. The cushaw grows very big and is rock solid..I'm hoping and trying to bring that quality into the pepo end of it and thickin up the Fat Boys walls so to speak. Heres a link I used to research.

could prizewinning Atlantic giant genetics eventually be introduced to field pumpkins in a two stage process? {pepo x Moschata} X (maxima x moschata}? depends on if the first two hybids would be interfertile.

Wow that is an amazing idea vimes. I grew out a shintosa camelforce (C. moschata x C. Maxima) I didn't get any filled out seeds from them. Obviously Joseph got some fertile seeds with his cross.
