RE: new to the game
If you grew an Atlantic Giant, it's a C. Maxima and I don't recall the
species for zucchini but I don't think it's Maxima, could be moshata or
pepo or something. If it's not maxima, it shouldn't have crossed. I do
know that some winter squash are C. Maxima though, especially some
spaghetti squash. Some C. Maximas are Atlantic Giant, Prizewinner, Big
Max & Rouge V'etampes or however that FRENCH word is spelled (Cinderella
Pumpkin.)

Hello all,
I am new to this list and have had some sucess on my first pumpkin
attempt last year. I grew one that went 540# on the co op scales. I
arrainged to have it donated to a local junior sports program and it was
used as a 'guess the weight' attraction at a local Lowe's. it brought in
over $350. My question is, I want to do the same thing this year, but I
need a good seed source. I don't know if my seed is any good. It may
have been too close to a zucinni. I had purchased the starter plant at
the Clackamas county fair grounds, at the Master Gardener show, in Canby
Or. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Randy
