I've seen it mentioned on another thread, that the flesh of A.G.s can vary quite a bit in texture and color. I'm wondering the significance of this. Would it be advantageous to cross, for instance, an orange-fleshed, easy to cut A.G., with a pale-fleshed, hard to cut A.G.(or two plants that produce this type of flesh)? Maybe a hybrid affect would occur.
I'd like to hear what the different types of A.G. flesh are, if it can be categorized. Does a certain type tend to go heavy, or light? Are there types that are more prone to cracking, or less prone?
My lone pumpkin of last year(953 Langevin X 1260.4 Weir) had an orange flesh, that cut quite easy, and it went heavy. It seemed very moist. I imagine it would have carved like butter.
Maybe if there is enough input here, we can notice some trends.
