Re: Dill Rings - Andersen
Dill rings will not occur on the ANdersen 815 fruit until around 4-500
pounds.. From my experience.. I culled my next to last squash at 255 pounds,
no sign of dill ring at all. Tet the 879 grew and didnt get the dill ring
until around 500 -550 pounds.. Great plant, stick with it..
