RE: Washington end of July update.
Glenn,
I knew you wouldn't let that line go by without comment. We'll see where I
stand when they hit the scales in October, but if I have as many inches on
the squash, I'm sure I'll have more pounds in it than the pumpkins. But the
squash is growing faster at this point and may end up being the biggest
overall. That one was self pollinated too so it's offspring could be very
green. I'll keep you in mind when it's seed trading time. This one did
come from a so called pumpkin though so who knows. I know Nic got a real
nice deep green 744 from this seed last year. Based on the squash I saw
this past weekend I feel good about my prospects with this one. It
certainly is greener than the others I saw. Especially the 900 Lyons plants
in Bretts patch. They looked just like pumpkins to me.
