I will have an 869 Calai female open in a few days along with some males on my 746 Scherber clone. I wasn't able to use the 746 to pollinate and it never produced females because it was to hot. It only produced flowers until late June then the main died leaving a 6" secondary. My question is: What do you think of an 869 Calai 746 Scherber cross? It will lose some of it's nice shape and color but will grow really fast and might be a good cross for next year. Your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks,
Tom

It's a little late to get a pumpkin with viable seeds. It takes 50 days to get mature seed.

Oh well, what's to lose, good luck.

I'll let it grow until at least halloween, lukily it stays warm here for a while. I'm glad to hear from you.
