Why would anyone cross ANYTHING with the 1061?! It was just a fluke, and the
wrong way to go with breeding giant pumpkins, I think. It is like 10 steps
backwards in the color, shape, and texture that everyone has been trying to
improve on for the last 15 years or more. I would rather see more stuff
crossed with the 1006!
