            | pendog66 | West Manchester, OH | I was wondering if it would work to cross a Solid Gold and Gold Rush Pumpkin. Solid Golds are growing great and are consistent 20-25lb growers but dont have the thickest stem | 7/17/2012 10:00:22 PM | 
		
            | Engel's Great Pumpkins and Carvings | Menomonie, WI ([email protected]) | They are both C Pepo they will readily cross.

            | pendog66 | West Manchester, OH | i will consider it on some later flowers. How many years does it take to get signs of hybridizing?  | 7/18/2012 8:29:31 PM | 
		
            | cojoe | Colorado | You can get hybred vigour first generation.I'm growing three plants this year that are phat jack x 154 orr. They are much nicer plants than either parent were.I would have to self  them three years to get a consistent new cross. | 7/19/2012 12:53:36 PM | 
		
            | pendog66 | West Manchester, OH | the other cross i was thinking about was Appalachian F1 and Solid Gold.. I have a new female flower opening in the morning, i will go out and try if its not storming | 7/19/2012 10:16:10 PM |
