Wow, someone else who thinks the way I do! I also wish that the pollinator
info was available for all seeds (I mean the specific plant, not just the
parentage).
I grew a 780 Eaton this last season. (First to verify that it is a 780 Eaton
seed, make sure it has 780 written on it, Al wrote on ALL of the genuine 780
Eaton seeds, as far as I know).
My pumpkin off of it was actually pear shaped, and had a blossom end ring,
didn't get very big but that probably can be attributed to the virus
problems that I had. The genetics of it, and other poeple's results, look to
be VERY good. I did extensive research (basically staying up all night for 3
solid months, every day) about whihc seeds are the best genetically so far,
and the 780 Eaton was one of the top ones.
