162.5 Clayton EXH pumpkin (186 Radach x 1442.5 Hoomis).
In case I never get a chance to put a better photo up: This was off the original 186 that was supposed to go where the unknown seed that grew the 795.5 was planted. This plant got sick (shown in pics posted sometime back in April?) then held on for a few days with roots totally exposed and then was repotted out of pity and a few weeks later it was replanted with the pitiable 1442.5 I also showed earlier (about 100 posts back lol).
Its looking a little more yellow than I would like but I picked it much earlier than I should have, the skin was still very soft DAP 50 or so. It might have gotten darker orange I just wanted the seeds and to get it out of the way. Probably a mistake to pick it so early I bet the seeds are not as mature as as they could have been.
The pollinator aborted early but it looked like it would have been similar in color with a very high wheel shape and very long stem. So, I take it back...a second real orange x real orange cross in 2018. If I want a big low cinderella pumpkin in the future, I should try this one!
